紫色水果可防治老年疾病（在线收听） |
紫色水果可防治老年疾病 Eating purple-colored fruit can ward off age-related diseases such as Alzheimer's, heart problems and cancer, scientists believe, the Daily Mail reported. It is thought that a compound in the fruit helps fight the harmful effects of iron, which can damage cells if it makes its way through the digestive system in the wrong form. The odds of developing multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease may also be reduced by consuming blueberries, blackberries, blackcurrants or plums, according to a study by the University of Manchester. Researchers say one or two of the recommended five daily portions of fruit and vegetables should be purple fruit. Green tea contains a similar compound, as curcumin does, the key ingredient of the curry spice turmeric. Even chocolate may help but unfortunately red wine does not have the same effect.
据英国《每日邮报》报道，科学家认为，吃紫色水果可以防止老年痴呆症、心脏病和癌症等与衰老有关的疾病。紫色水果中有一种复合物可以有效阻止铁对人体的伤害。如果铁以错误的形式直接进入消化系统，那么会破坏人体细胞。曼彻斯特大学科学家研究发现，多吃蓝莓、黑莓、黑醋栗（即黑加仑）或李子等水果还可以防止多发性硬化症和帕金森氏症。研究人员称，在专家建议的每天5种果蔬中，紫色水果应该占1、2种。
绿茶中和咖喱香料的主要元素姜黄素中也含有类似的复合物。另外，吃巧克力也有助于防止老年疾病，但是红葡萄酒却没有此类作用。 |
