Tea, Berries, Dark Chocolate and Apples Could Lead to a Longer Life Span, Study Shows
- For the first time, official recommendations on flavonoid consumption have been published, encouraging people to increase their intake to support overall health.
- This followed a large study published today in Nature Food that tracked over 120,000 participants aged 40 to 70 years for more than a decade.
- The study revealed that consuming about 500 mg of flavonoids each day—equivalent to approximately two cups of tea—was linked to a 16% reduction in the chance of dying from any cause, along with about a 10% decrease in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory conditions.
- Researchers also observed that higher diversity of flavonoid intake further reduced risks, with some participants experiencing up to 20% lower risk of type 2 diabetes, supporting dietary variety in flavonoid-rich foods like tea, berries, apples, and dark chocolate.
- These findings suggest that simple dietary swaps to increase both intake and variety of flavonoid-rich foods could potentially improve long-term health and reduce chronic disease risks.
