Harvard & UCLA Reveal the #1 Fruit for Improving Memory – Dr. Cohen’s Findings
If you’ve noticed more “senior moments” or feel your memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be, you’re not alone. Research shows that by age 60, blood flow to the brain can decline by up to 26%. That drop in circulation starves neurons of oxygen and nutrients, accelerating the death of over 32,000 brain cells every second.
Studies from Harvard Medical School, UCLA, and Cornell University confirm that reduced blood flow shrinks the hippocampus—the brain’s memory center—leading to faster cognitive decline. The good news? Simple dietary changes can boost circulation and protect memory.
What’s the #1 Fruit for Memory Support?
When researchers compared fruits rich in flavonoids and circulation-enhancing compounds, one fruit consistently stood out for memory protection. Here’s a quick quiz:
Is it…
- Blueberries
- Watermelon
- Strawberries
- Mangoes
- Avocados
Clue: it’s not avocados or blueberries (though those are healthy). The fruit that rose to the top surprised even researchers. Find the answer here and discover why it may reverse age-related memory decline.
How Does This Fruit Help the Brain?
Researchers found it improves blood circulation, delivers antioxidants that protect neurons from oxidative stress, and directly supports hippocampal function. In clinical settings, participants eating this fruit regularly performed better on memory recall tests and showed slower cognitive decline.
Dr. Cohen’s Brain Health Recommendations
Beyond adding this fruit to your routine, Dr. Cohen emphasizes a holistic approach to memory support:
- Prioritize circulation-boosting foods like beets (PureClean Beet™) and dark berries.
- Maintain mitochondrial health with amino acids (FundAminos™).
- Balance blood sugar, since glucose swings directly impair brain energy. See The 21 Day Blood Sugar Reboot for a structured program.
