Low flavonoid intake related to Alzheimer’s risk
    2020-06-04  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

WITH China entering an aging society, conditions associated with aging are on the rise. Alzheimer’s disease, which is the leading cause of dementia, is one of these conditions.

Although becoming increasingly common, the exact cause of Alzheimer’s disease remains unknown. However, an increasing number of studies are suggesting that diet plays a role. Several studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet, in particular, is associated with a reduced risk of cognitive issues — including Alzheimer’s. Interestingly, the Mediterranean diet is high in flavonoids. These are naturally occurring chemicals present in various fruits and vegetables, as well as in plant-based beverages such as tea and wine.

Researchers from Tufts University’s Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging in Medford, Massachusetts, the United States, have shown that a high long-term intake of flavonoid-rich foods — such as berries, apples, and tea — is associated with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.(SD-Agencies)
