You Need to Know: One Fruit Apples Per Day Can Prevent Stroke

That an apple can keep us from a doctor, maybe you often hear. However, a recent study published in the journal Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association elaborate more specific: an apple a day will keep us from a stroke. Not only apples, but the whole fruit of the light-colored flesh.
However, Dutch researchers said people with high intake of apples, pears, bananas, or cauliflower may reduce stroke risk by 52 percent. The study involved more than 20 thousand adults aged over 10 years.
Even so, experts say a stroke, do not have to put off eating fruit and vegetables with other colors, just for the sake of preventing a stroke.
