Strawberry consumption may boost cognitive function in older people according to study

Adding strawberries to your daily diet may offer significant benefits for cognitive function and overall health, especially as you age. According to a new randomized clinical trial presented at Nutrition 2023, daily strawberry consumption has been linked to improved cognitive ability, lower blood pressure, and higher antioxidant capacity.

Conducted at San Diego State University, the study involved 35 healthy men and women between the ages of 66 and 78. Participants were given either 26 grams of freeze-dried strawberry powder, equivalent to two servings of strawberries daily, or a control powder for eight weeks each.
