Steve Says…
"Blueberries are a rich source of phytonutrients, especially anthocyanins and pterostilbene. The anthocyanins have been strongly linked with positive impacts on brain activity & function. Studies have shown them to have the ability to improve memory in the elderly by increasing something known as BDNF. Blueberries are also a great anti-inflammatory and antioxidant food which can help with certain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, diabetes and heart disease."
