Mind, Body, Berry Bread......Strawberry Season....
Sad But True.......
Did you know that strawberry season is only about 6 weeks long? Sad but true. And this year because of the unseasonably warm weather, it is even shorter.
Brain Berries.....
Studies have shown that berries such as strawberries, blueberries and blackberries are highly protective to the brain! Not only are they delicious, but they also work as anti-oxidants, have anti-inflamatory properties and positively effect the part of the brain that helps to off-set stress!! For these reason, we love berries!!
While the berries are in season, it is a good idea to make as much as you can with them!! Try baking and freezing this bread recipe to enjoy later in the season for continued health and well being!!
