Citrus

Eating Citrus Reduces Stroke

Women who consumed the most citrus were less likely to have an ischemic (clot-related) stroke than women who consumed the least. Researchers attributed the benefit to compounds in citrus called flavanones, which may reduce inflammation and improve blood vessels function. Other substances in citrus, including potassium, may also play a role.
