 Blueberries are rich in flavonoid molecules, which help to fight DNA damage and also slow down damage related to ageing in the brain cells. Previous research has found that blueberries can help with memory abilities in later life due to their nutritional content. Being also loaded with antioxidants, the delicious fruit can help to not only increase a person's lifespan, but also aid in improvements in cardiovascular health. Dr Emma Derbyshire, public health nutritionist and adviser to British Summer Fruits, commented on a study which found blueberries are key when it comes to boosting longevity. She said: 'Blueberries are full of polyphenols such as anthocyanins, which have been linked to cognitive benefits. 'These are exciting findings and imply that berries have an important role to play in reinforcing cognitive wellbeing, both in school and as we age. 'Berries can be easily included in the diet, no matter what our age, scattered onto cereals, pureed into porridge, juiced into a smoothie, or simply eaten as a portable snack.'
