What else contributes to brain health? How about a nice bowl of berries? The consumption of berries, such as blueberries and strawberries (which contain anthocyanin phytonutrients) helps to improve memory and overall cognitive function. A great way to get your daily dose of berries is by way of a colorful, mighty smoothie bowl.
