Frailty in the elderly can be warded off with the assistance of blueberries, according to research.
Frailty is a common condition in older adults that can lead to falls, disability, and death.
The study found that eating 150g of blueberries daily for six months improved physical function and reduced inflammation in older adults.
Blueberries are high in antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties.
The study suggests that blueberries could be a cost-effective way to prevent frailty in older adults.
Further research is needed to confirm the findings and determine the optimal dose of blueberries for preventing frailty.
