A study at the Norwich School of Medicine at the University of East Anglia found that regular inclusion of oranges and grapefruits in the diet can significantly reduce the risk of stroke, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35.. net According to scientists, both the fruits themselves and their freshly squeezed juice are an excellent tool in the fight against stroke prevention. For the first time in history, scientists were not interested in the effect of fruits on the human body to prevent stroke, but only the effect of citrus fruits.. And although the tests were conducted only on women, scientists say that the beneficial effects of oranges and grapefruits will also be observed on the male body..

A distinctive feature of oranges and grapefruits is the presence of flavonoids - a class of antioxidants that are also found in various fruits, vegetables, chocolate and red wine.. Over 14 years, almost 70,000 women have been tested and regularly report the composition of their diet, while not excluding detailed information about fruits and vegetables.. The scientists carried out the work in which they performed the ratio of the six main substances of flavonoids (flavonols, flavonoid polymers, flavanones, flavan-3-ols, anthocyanins, flavones) absorbed with food with the appearance of the risk of ischemic stroke.

As it turned out, this use of flavonoids does not affect the prevention of stroke.. However, it did not escape the fact that in women who consumed a large number of oranges and grapefruits saturated with flavonones, the risk value of ischemic stroke was reduced by 19%.. The largest indicator in the diet was found in women who included 45 mg of flavonones per day in their diet.. We noticed that a glass of ordinary orange juice, depending on the processing method, contains 20-50 mg of flavonones..

Scientists have found that the enrichment of the body with these flavonones is carried out by eating oranges and orange juice (82%), grapefruits and their juice (14%) in the diet.. However, to get the maximum benefit from these products, you should lean on fruit, not juice, which contains a lot of sugar..
