The Tiny Thanksgiving Fruit That’s Great for Your Brain!
Flavonoids are natural compounds found in plants, fruits, and veggies, and they pack a serious antioxidant punch! Studies show that flavonoids help fight off heart disease, cancer, and even brain disorders.
Anthocyanins, a special kind of flavonoid, give certain foods their bright red, blue, or purple colors. You’ll find them in berries, grapes, and even red wine. These anthocyanins don’t just add color; they also have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that can help protect your brain from mental decline. On top of that, they fight bad LDL cholesterol, reduce blood clotting, and even help guard against cancer.
Can you guess which Thanksgiving food is loaded with anthocyanins? It’s cranberries! Just one cup contains nearly 92 milligrams of these brain-boosting compounds.
So, don’t be shy about adding a little extra cranberry sauce to your plate this Thanksgiving. Your brain will thank you!
