The results of a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that women who consumed tea and citrus fruits can reduce the risk of ovarian cancer and epithelial. Peithelial cancer is a cancer that arises and grows on the surface of the ovary lining.
This study was conducted over three decades on the 171 940 women aged 25 to 55 years. Researchers found that women had a smaller risk of developing ovarian cancer if they consume regularly flavonoids. Flavonoids can be found in tea, apples, grapes, or citrus fruits, as reported by the Daily Health Post.
Most likely, this is because flavonoids can relieve inflammation caused by cancer. Women who regularly eat foods rich in flavonoids will decrease cancer risk by 31 percent.
Meanwhile other studies also reveal that the flavonoid-rich foods can also reduce the risk of breast cancer, colon cancer, and aggressive prostate cancer. So, what are you waiting? Nothing wrong start adding flavonoid-rich foods in your diet now!
