Researchers claim that the oranges and grapefruit (a type of orange, but such a large grapefruit) can reduce the risk of stroke. Both fruits are best eaten whole or in juice form in the morning.
This occurs because the orange and grapefruit contain certain antioxidants called flavanones.
The study did involve thousands of women who participated in the Nurses Health Study in the U.S., but also believed the same effect on men.
Took almost 14 years, 69 622 women reported their dietary intake including details about the consumption of fruits and vegetables every 4 years.
Fact that there are women who consumed high amounts of flavanones in citrus has a 19 percent lower risk of stroke caused by a blood clot (ischemic) than women who consumed in small quantities.
It takes about 45mg a day flavanones to reduce the risk of stroke can be obtained from a glass of orange juice.
But the researchers also confirmed that the consumption of fruits and other vegetables as a form of balanced diet will greatly influence the risk of stroke.
