We’re often told to eat more fruits and vegetables—and for good reason. Many of the nutrients found in fruits and vegetables are responsible for important health benefits, in particular preventing a wide range of diseases, including heart disease and diabetes.
A growing body of evidence even suggests that flavonoids, a group of compounds found in almost every fruit and vegetable—including tea, citrus fruit, berries, red wine, apples, and legumes—can actually reduce your risk of developing certain cancers, heart disease, and stroke. Now, recent evidence suggests that diets high in flavonoids can lower your risk of dementia.
