BrainBoosting Benefits

eating blackberries is a smart move. A 2012 review published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry looked at data from human, animal, and cell culture studies and found that berries, including blackberries, benefit the brain in a few different ways. In addition to being high in antioxidants that fight free radical damage in the brain, blackberries also affect cell signaling between neurons and reduce cellular inflammation. This improves the functioning of neurons involved in both thinking and motor control.
