According to a study released by researchers from Harvard University and East Anglia University, regular consumption of flavonoid rich foods such as berries can significantly reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease in men The researchers analyzed long-term follow-up data from more than 49000 American men and more than 80000 women During the 20-22 year follow-up period, 438 men and 367 women developed Parkinson's disease According to the intake of flavonoids, the subjects were divided into five groups Excluding age, lifestyle and other factors, the researchers found that the group with the highest intake of flavonoids had a 40% lower risk of Parkinson's disease than the group with the lowest intake, and the amount of flavonoids consumed by women was not associated with the risk of Parkinson's disease In this study, the subjects consumed flavonoids mainly from berries, tea, apples, red wine, oranges or orange juice The related research report has been published in the American Journal of Neurology Considering the benefits of flavonoids, such as lowering blood pressure, adding berries to the diet is beneficial, but their findings need to be validated by large-scale clinical trials, the researchers said.
