Eating oranges and other citrus fruits can help reduce the risk of stroke in women, a new British study has found The new 14-year study, involving nearly 70000 women, found that women who ate citrus fruit regularly had a 10% lower risk of stroke than women who did not Dr Idin Cassidy, head of the new study, said total flavonoids, a type of food flavonoid, have the effect of reducing the risk of stroke There are more total flavonoids in citrus, especially in oranges and grapefruits An orange or a piece of grapefruit contains about 45-50 mg of total flavonoids It was found that total flavonoids can improve vascular function and reduce inflammation, and vascular dysfunction and inflammation are the main causes of stroke Dr Cassidy said that citrus fruit is better to eat directly than to drink fruit juice, because fresh fruit has a higher total flavone content and no added sugar.
