Eating a small bowl of cranberries every day could help ward off dementia, research suggested today.

Scientists tested giving healthy older adults the equivalent of 100g of the fruit each day.

Volunteers who ate a powdered version of the fruit — which has a notoriously bitter taste — were found to have a better memory recall after 12 weeks.

And MRI scans showed those eating cranberries had better blood flow to important parts of the brain.

People given cranberries also had 9 per cent lower bad cholesterol levels, according to the University of East Anglia study. The team wrote this 'may in part contribute to the improvement in brain perfusion and cognition'.

LDL 'bad' cholesterol can harden and form plaques in arteries, reducing blood flow to the brain.

Want a healthier heart? Eat 100g of cranberries every day, scientists say 

Eating cranberries every day could be key to a healthy heart, a study suggests.

Men who consumed the equivalent of 100g of the sour fruit daily saw significant signs of improvement in heart function after one month.

Researchers claimed the effects of the antioxidant-rich berry on blood flow in the arteries start to kick in within just two hours.

Cranberries have long been suspected of keeping the heart healthy by preventing inflammation and
