Researchers say drinking tea and eating dark chocolate and berries (containing flavonoids) can “help your body function more efficiently while protecting it against everyday toxins and stressors.” People can lower their risk of developing serious health conditions and have the potential to live longer. The study, published in the journal Nature Food, tracked 124,805 participants aged 40-70 for a decade. Doctor Benjamin Parmenter research fellow at Edith Cowan University in Australia said that consuming about 500 mg of flavonoids a day is linked to a 16 per cent lower risk of “all-cause mortality” and linked to a 10 per cent lower risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, and respiratory disease.
