A plant-based diet is widely recognized for its ability to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. Expanding on this, researchers have now identified specific food items rich in flavonoids that could lower the risk of type 2 diabetes.
Flavonoids are natural components found in plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and certain beverages such as tea and wine. They are superfoods with antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, anti-mutagenic, and anti-carcinogenic properties. They have protective effects against various diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer's disease, and atherosclerosis.
