An apple a day may actually keep the doctor away. This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young medical minute. New research from Edith Cowan University suggests that high Flavonoid consumption may decrease risk of heart disease and cancer. The researchers studied over 53 thousand participants for 23 years. People who consumed moderate to high levels, around 500mg, were less likely to die from heart disease or cancer. Flavonoids are found in citrus fruit, apples, tea, and legumes. Now, you may thinking red wine has flavonoids, I’ll just drink that instead. Well, research has shown that drink a day does not keep the doctor away and can cause inflammation throughout the body—increasing cancer risk.
