New research shows that foods rich in flavonoids can slash your risk of cancer and heart-related deaths.
, study coauthor and postdoctoral research fellow at ECU’s School of Medical and Health Sciences, underlying inflammation and tissue and cell damage can up your risk of heart disease and cancer. Flavonoid compounds have been shown to reduce these levels.
“We think that might be why people who have a diet rich in these flavonoid compounds have a lower risk of heart disease and cancer,” she told. “As smoking and high alcohol consumption can increase inflammation, this may be why flavonoids are more protective in people who smoke and drink too much.”However, even if you don’t smoke and drink regularly, everyone can benefit from getting about 500 mg of flavonoids per day, according to Bondonno.
