The fruit of this plant is ready for picking when they turn a dark blue and typically will last longer than blueberries in the fridge. Often they are a bit sweeter after the first freezes but they are good for jams and pie fillings. This fruit is used as a diuretic, antispasmodic and produces increased perspiration

Physical Therapy Fun Facts

A piece of brain tissue the size of a grain of sand contains 100,000 neurons and 1 billion synapses. However, damage to neurons can have great impact. For example, during a stroke, blood cannot get oxygen to the brain. As a result, brain cells can die, and abilities in that particular area of the brain can be lost. Similarly, Parkinson’s disease occurs when cells in a part of your brain called the substantia nigra start to die.

Soapberry

This plant is generally harvested in later summer and fall but the fruit can remain on the bush into mid-winter. You can make them into a jelly that is quite aromatic. The plant can help stop blood flow, be hypotensive and aid in stomach digestion.

The human brain runs on about 20 watts of power (enough to power a lightbulb). All that power calls for some much-needed rest. Adequate sleep helps maintain the pathways in your brain. Additionally, research shows that sleep deprivation is linked to Alzheimer’s disease.
