Eating strawberries often can help prevent Parkinson's disease, according to a new study released by Harvard Medical School on the 14th The study involved 49000 men and 80000 women The subjects first fill in the questionnaire about their daily diet in detail, then the researchers analyze the questionnaire and calculate the total amount of flavonoids that each person usually takes from different foods In a 22-year follow-up study, 805 people suffered from Parkinson's disease Studies have shown that men who ingest the most flavonoids have a 40% lower risk of developing neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease than men who ingest the least flavonoids Although there is not enough evidence to show that there is a direct relationship between the intake of flavonoids and Parkinson's disease in women, the researchers found that anthocyanins, one of the flavonoids, can reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease in both men and women, while strawberry berries are rich in anthocyanins.
