Brilliant Blackberries.
Berries are high in iron and good antioxidants especially polyphenols. They are extremely beneficial to the heart, blood vessels, brain, bladder, kidneys, and blood.
Rats that ate a diet supplemented by 2 percent blackberries displayed better motor performance, balance, and coordination than a control group. The blackberry-eating rats also showed significantly greater short-term memory performance. Researchers believe that the polyphenols in blackberries increase antioxidant levels enough to make them potentially beneficial to aging adults.
