Blueberries have been trumpeted as a ‘superfood’ for many years because of the level of antioxidants contained in such a small package. The range of minerals and vitamins found in blueberries – which is even higher in blueberry leaves – is thought to have beneficial effects on boosting the human immune system and in preventing infections. They’re also thought to prevent the degeneration and death of neurons and brain cells.
Canadian scientists are now investigating the potential protective benefits that antioxidant rich berries (and leaves) in the diet might offer those people who suffer a mild brain injury such as concussion.
They are testing the theory that more antioxidant chemicals in the brain from berries could aid recovery, and could also slow down the degernerative process of Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease.
