Eat berries at least once a week!

Harvard Medical School researchers found that people who ate the most blueberries and strawberries had the slowest rate of memory loss… a difference equal to about two-and-a-half years of aging. But the biggest surprise was that all it took was a half-cup serving of blueberries or a 1-cup serving of strawberries per week. Better brainpower from berries.

Eat more strawberries and blueberries! Researchers from the Harvard School of Public Health studied nearly 100‑thousand women under age 40. The result: Those who ate at least 3 servings a week of strawberries or blueberries were 32% less likely to have a heart attack. That’s about a‑half cup of berries a day.

So, what makes strawberries and blueberries so heart-healthy? They contain tons of anthocyanins – compounds that help widen arteries, and fight against the buildup of damaging, artery-blocking plaque. In fact, just about any red– or blue–colored fruit or vegetable can boost your heart health… including cherries, grapes, eggplant, black currants, plums, purple cabbage and boysenberries.

If you want to keep your weight in check – and avoid the 2 pound average yearly gain, think red… as in red produce. Everything from strawberries, to cherries, red grapes and apples. According to the British Medical Journal, the flavonoids that give red produce its color is associated with less weight gain over the long-haul.

If you have a little patch of yard, or even a window box, you can grow your own veggies! Just pick up a tomato plant, or a strawberry plant – or seeds for peppers or squash. They’re easy to tend and grow fast. And they’ll provide super-powered produce all year long.

Plus, when we grow our own fruits and vegetables, we’re inspired to eat more of them.

Go ahead and enjoy chocolate-dipped strawberries!

When those foods are consumed together – it gives your health a big boost. 

That’s because the antioxidants in both foods team up and create additional disease fighting power. But you need to use dark chocolate to get those results.

This little fruit can help to whiten your teeth.

Who needs a teeth-whitening kit when we have strawberries? The salicylic acid in strawberries lifts surface stains from tooth enamel, while their vitamin C whitens teeth by removing plaque.
