Blueberries can help prevent the release of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal
gland during stressful situations, that travels to the hippocampus (a major portion of your brain) and provides emotional responses.
During these
stressful situations, your bodies adrenal
glands, tiny
glands located on the kidneys, start manufacturing adrenaline and cortisol, initiating whats commonly known as the fight or flight instinct, thus controlling how you react to the
stressful situation you are in.
