February 24/London/Daily Mail -- Eating oranges and grapefruit could cut the risk of stroke, claim researchers. Both the whole fruit and breakfast juices appear to protect against having a “brain attack,” probably due to their high content of a certain type of antioxidant.
A new study looked at citrus fruit for the first time, rather than a range of fruit and vegetables which have been linked to stroke protection. The study involved thousands of women taking part in the ongoing Nurses’ Health Study in the U.S., but experts believe the benefits may also apply to men.
