Because a study says that two berries are rich in polyphenols are effective in preventing premature aging of the brain.

Researchers from Tufts University and the University of Maryland Baltimore County precise analysis on the impact of berries on the brain of rat. They were trying to figure out what berry fruit really can cleanse the accumulated toxins in the brain.

Researchers then feed the berry to mice for two months while monitoring the condition of his brain. The result, proved that strawberry and blueberry is a powerful way to protect the brain from aging due to polyphenol content in it.

"Most brain diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are caused by high toxic form of the protein in the brain. So by eating blueberries and strawberries, the risk of developing the disease can be reduced," said researcher Dr. Shibu Poulose, as quoted by The Daily News.

66 percent of parents use cell phones while driving - Nearly two-thirds of adults are known to use a cell phone while driving with their children. Not only that, a third of parents also admitted sending messages while driving with children, based on a survey in California.

Though it is known that this kind of behavior causes a lot of harm. In 2011, as many as 3,300 deaths and 400,000 people were injured due to driving while using a cell phone.

This tendency is known to researchers after conducting an online survey on 715 drivers aged 30-64 years in San Diego County. They found that many people are not aware of the dangers of what they are doing, let alone with their children.

"The results of this study indicate malicious behavior from adults, especially when driving with their children. Surely this could endanger themselves and their children, increasing the risk of accidents," said Dr. Linda Hill of the UCSD School of Medicine, as quoted by Health Day News (19/04).

More than 500 people surveyed admitted driving for one to two hours a day. About 30 percent use cell phones to call and send messages. Meanwhile 53 percent said that they seldom do so, and 17 percent never do it again.

Approximately 66 percent of respondents admitted to driving while using a cell phone. They use it when driving with children under the age of 11 years to 17 years in the car. Researchers found that people with children under the age of 11 years more use of phones while driving.

Not only that, the survey revealed that 31 percent of respondents feel they are responsible to pick up the phone associated with the work even though you're driving a vehicle.
