Answer 1

Problem: The paragraph describes the physical problems associated with aging, such as loss of eyesight, hearing, and memory, and reduced mobility, and explores the question of whether these problems can be mitigated.

Solution: Scientists at Tufts University found that feeding rats (equivalent in age to 65-75 year old humans) half a cup of blueberries daily for eight weeks improved their physical skills and short-term memory. This suggests that the antioxidants in blueberries may help slow the aging process and prevent some age-related physical decline.

Main Idea: The main idea is that consuming blueberries, rich in antioxidants, may help prevent or lessen some of the physical problems associated with aging, as demonstrated by experiments on rats.
