(^) Permission to mainline
Pimm’s in the pursuit
of health. New research
published in the journal
Food Chemistry found
that strawberries (and
blackberries, FYI) are
an excellent source of
folate. Aka vitamin B9,
adequate levels of this
micronutrient have been
associated with lower
rates of Alzheimer’s
disease and depression

• bit worrying, then, that
  the latest National Diet
  and Nutrition Survey

Preventative

punch

IF YOU DO ONE THING THIS MONTH

FUTURE-PROOF

YOUR BRAIN WITH

STRAWBERRIES

shows that levels have

dropped over the past

nine years. Reset the

balance while these guys

are at their seasonal best

(that’s May to September

for strawberries and

August to October for

blackberries). See off

half a 200g punnet and

you’ll be a third of the

way to meeting your

total daily goal. We like

this berry much.
