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.

根据2009年莓果健康讨论会最新消息，草莓有益大脑。数项举世闻名的研究者倡导的最新研究一致显示食用草莓是可以提高认知能力的一种简单方法。

例如：芝加哥健康老化项目的研究员提出的一项研究显示每月至少食用一次草莓的老年人认知衰退的少些。更具体一点的说，每月食用草莓超过一次的女性比那些食用草莓较少的人来说，认知能力的衰退要低16.2个百分点。

随着年龄的增加，大脑功能降低。这已经由莓果农业部农业研究服务所的詹姆斯？约瑟夫和巴巴拉？舒凯特-黑尔的实验研究中确定地显示了。由Drs.他们在讨论会上的最新研究显示出老化导致学习记忆和运动机能衰退，例如平衡和走的速度--并且认为，草莓和其他莓果能改进记忆和运动机能。
