Berries help reduce the risk of Parkinson's

Eating a variety of berries such as strawberries, apples, grapes, . may help reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease, according to a new study published by Harvard School of Public Health scientists (USA). .

Berries such as strawberries, grapes, . are rich in flavonoid compounds, vitamin P
and other micronutrients are beneficial to health.

Scientists found that people who regularly eat berries such as strawberries, grapes, apples, oranges . are less likely to get Parkinson's disease. The reason is that these foods are rich in fla-vonoid compounds, vitamin P and other healthy substances.

The Daily Mail reported that researchers at Harvard School of Public Health conducted research with 49,281 men and 80,336 women. The team analyzed the association between flavonoid intake and the risk of Parkinson's disease, based on flavonoid-rich foods, such as tea, berries, apples, wine, and citrus. Volunteers are monitored for 20-22 years.

As a result, scientists found 805 people with Parkinson's disease. Specifically, 20% of men who eat a lot of foods containing a lot of flavonoid have a lower risk of Parkinson's disease than 40% compared to 20% who do not regularly load flavonoid-rich foods.

Meanwhile, in women, there is no relationship between overall flavonoid consumption and the development of Parkinson's disease. However, when analyzing flavonoids in berries, the team found that they were linked to a reduced risk of Parkinson's disease in both men and women.

Dr. Xiang Gao, head of the study, said: ' This is the first human study to examine the association between flavonoids and the risk of Parkinson's disease. The results of our study show that flavonoid compounds work to reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease very effectively '.
