Your brain on blueberries

G.E.H.A | August 25, 2025

Support memory and slow cognitive decline with blueberries and smart add-ins like flaxseed, spinach and avocado.

Blueberries are one of the most nutritious fruits, often called a "superfood." They are loaded with antioxidants, especially those that act to protect the brain and nervous system from oxidative stress and inflammation. Adding a handful of blueberries to your daily diet can help improve memory and cognitive function. One study showed that people who consumed more blueberries experienced a slower rate of cognitive decline, up to 2.5 years, as they aged.

Smoothies are a great way to enjoy blueberries and add other brain-boosting ingredients:

  • Flaxseeds: a great source of anti-inflammatory brain-boosting omega-3 fats.
  • Spinach: rich in brain-healthy nutrients such as vitamin K, lutein, folate and beta carotene.
  • Avocados: contain fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin K and folate for memory and learning.
