Eating more berries was also found to protect against cognitive decline, according to a new study
Brits love to drink wine with around 31 million people in the UK thought to enjoy the grape-based beverage. It is often thought of as a treat to accompany dinner or help you unwind at the end of the day. But a new study suggests that it might be more than just a tasty drink.
The research, published in JAMA Network Open, found that upping your intake of flavonoids through red wine - as well as the consumption of berries and tea - could slash the risk of dementia by as much as 28 percent. Within the study, the greatest risk reduction was observed in participants consuming at least two of the following per day compared to those who consumed none:
“Our findings show that consuming six additional servings of flavonoid-rich foods per day, in particular berries, tea and red wine, was associated with a 28 percent lower risk of dementia. The findings were most noticeable in individuals with a high genetic risk as well as those with symptoms of depression.”
While age and genetics are risk factors in the development of the disease, scientific evidence has linked various other factors such as diet to dementia risk. Flavonoids, primarily found in plant foods, have been previously found to have many health benefits including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties.
