Lots of great reasons to eat berries every day!
Berries may slow brain aging by as much as two and a half years. Eating just one cup of blueberries a day has been shown to improve long-term memory in older adults. You can even correlate the cognitive improvements with enhanced brain activation by using state-of-the-art brain scan technology to actually visualize the improved blood flow to those same regions of the brain caused by the blueberry consumption.
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study on children compared about one cup of blueberries to two cups and none at all. What did the researchers find? Blueberries improved cognitive performance, and the more berries, the better. And, the improvements weren't seen after 12 weeks of eating berries, but within hours of just a single meal with blueberries.
If you eat blueberries week after week, you also get chronic benefits, such as reduced artery stiffness and a boost in your natural killer cells, which are one of your body’s natural first lines of defense against viral infections and cancer.
Berries are some of the most healthful foods we should include in our daily routine. This is why they have their own special category in Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen checklist. Download the free Daily Dozen app today, and start ticking off your daily servings of berries.

THE CONVERSATION
I always like a good news story..
U of G's Child Care and Learning Centre makes a mark by becoming the first centre in Ontario to be fully plant-based
Much debate about before dates... some kind of date is important but education about how to determine when a food is "bad" or it's ready to throw out is definitely needed in order to reduce food waste.
As awareness grows around the world about the problem of food waste, one culprit in particular is drawing scrutiny: “best before” labels.
Always great to see a good news story especially at this time of year of Thanksgiving!
The food offered by Irie Market owner Tashara Williams isn't just nourishment. It's about cultural connection and a pleasure based on memory, culture and taste that is highly personal.
