Berries are also the foundation of the MIND diet, emphasizing foods rich in antioxidants. Anthocyanin - a flavonoid found in berries helps protect the nerves. Meanwhile, vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, helping to protect the brain from oxidative stress and limit the accumulation of beta-amyloid protein associated with Alzheimer's disease.
