Strawberries are good for your brain, according to breaking news out of the 2009 Berry Health Symposium. Several of the latest studies, conducted by world-renowned researchers, consistently showed that strawberry consumption is a simple way to improve cognitive function.

    For example, one study presented by researchers from the Chicago Healthy Aging Project （CHAP） showed that older adults who consume strawberries at least once per month have less cognitive decline. More specifically, women who consumed more than one serving of strawberries per month had a 16.2% slower rate of cognitive decline versus those who consumed less.

    With increasing age, brain function diminishes. This has been conclusively shown in laboratory studies, by Drs. James Joseph and Barbara Shukitt-Hale of USDA Agricultural Research Service at Tufts University. Their latest research at the conference demonstrated that aging results in deficits in learning, memory and motor function, such as balance and walking speed - and concluded that strawberries and other berries improved both memory and motor function.

    根據(jù)2009年莓果健康討論會(huì)最新消息，草莓有益大腦。數(shù)項(xiàng)舉世聞名的研究者倡導(dǎo)的最新研究一致顯示食用草莓是可以提高認(rèn)知能力的一種簡單方法。

    例如：芝加哥健康老化項(xiàng)目的研究員提出的一項(xiàng)研究顯示每月至少食用一次草莓的老年人認(rèn)知衰退的少些。更具體一點(diǎn)的說，每月食用草莓超過一次的女性比那些食用草莓較少的人來說，認(rèn)知能力的衰退要低16.2個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。

    隨著年齡的增加，大腦功能降低。這已經(jīng)由莓果農(nóng)業(yè)部農(nóng)業(yè)研究服務(wù)所的詹姆斯？約瑟夫和巴巴拉？舒凱特-黑爾的實(shí)驗(yàn)研究中確定地顯示了。由Drs.他們在討論會(huì)上的最新研究顯示出老化導(dǎo)致學(xué)習(xí)記憶和運(yùn)動(dòng)機(jī)能衰退，例如平衡和走的速度--并且認(rèn)為，草莓和其他莓果能改進(jìn)記憶和運(yùn)動(dòng)機(jī)能。
