Dutch researchers report fruits and vegetables whose edible sections are white may lower your risk of stroke more than other fruits and vegetables.
According to the study, published in the November issue of Stroke, every 25 grams per day of white fruits and vegetables consumed led to a 9 percent decrease in the risk of stroke, and apples and pears were the most commonly consumed “white fruit,” .
Green, orange/yellow and red/purple fruits and vegetables weren’t related to stroke. However, the risk of stroke incidence was 52 percent lower for people with a high intake of white fruits and vegetables, compared to people with a low intake. But, the findings don’t mean it’s OK to stop eating other fruits and vegetables, because other fruit and vegetable color groups may protect against other chronic diseases.
