Mothers who insist their kids to finish their greens should perhaps add more color to their children?diet by including strawberries,for a study has found that a natural chemical found in strawberries can boost memory.Fisetin,a naturally occurring flavonoid commonly found in strawberries and other fruits and vegetables,stimulates signaling pathways that enhance long-term memory,report researchers at the Salk institute for Biological studies in this week's online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Wow, that's amazing. Now wonder I have an aweful memory. I've probably only eatten two or three strawberries my whole life. I'll make sure to give my daughter some. I don't want her to have a aweful memory like I have.

Wow, thanks for the info! I always loved them more than any other fruit, and now I have more of an excuse to snack on them every day. Great idea.

Nice Information, But i want to tell you some thing different. every seasonal food is good and 100% Great for health of every one. if you find a seasonal fruit or vegetable etc. eat it well and as much you can, it will be the best food for you in that season.

Fascinating as always. I wonder does this work on adults. If so, then maybe we've got it wrong on certain "holidays". Perhaps people should be fed strawberries before Valentine's, Birthdays, Anniversaries (and not during).
