CRANBERRIES
A cup of cranberries a day could help improve memory and brain function and keep dementia at bay, according to a University of East Anglia study.
Research participants who ate freeze-dried cranberry powder equivalent to a cup or 100g of fresh cranberries daily showed improved memory, neural functioning and blood delivery to the brain.
They also had a significant drop in LDL or 'bad' cholesterol levels.
All this on top of the fact that cranberries have a good reputation for treating cystitis and other urinary tract infections - they contain substances called proanthocyanidins, thought to prevent bacteria from sticking to the bladder wall.
Berry nice: "Add 1tsp dried cranberries to a pint of water and simmer for 10 minutes for a warm and restorative tea," suggests Sarah Tomlin, nutritional therapist (iheartnutrition.co.uk).
