Mangos also contain several B vitamins along with vitamin K, vitamin E, and vitamin A.

They are also a good source of fiber, which helps the body maintain healthy digestion. On the brainier side of things, raspberries help counter oxidative stress, which is a factor in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Their flavonoids help to improve coordination, memory, and mood—woo hoo!

Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins like C and K, blueberries are among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet! They have been found to improve memory in older adults and have also helped to lower blood pressure and LDL cholesterol. Did you know that blueberries are green when they first appear? They deepen to an eventual blue as they ripen!
