There is no doubt about the health-protective effect of a natural diet rich in flavonoids to protect against a wide range of diseases including heart disease, hypertension, some cancers, and dementia. However, researchers from Harvard University and the University of East Anglia have published the result of a study in the journalNeurologythat demonstrates how these plant-based phytonutrients can significantly lower the risk of developing Parkinson's disease, especially in men. (Let's face it - men often eat far less fruit than women, so no surprise here then !)

Flavonoids from healthy foods such as berries, tea, apples, and red wine cross the delicate blood-brain barrier to protect neurons against neurologic diseases such as Parkinson's. This large scale study included more than 130,000 men and women participants that were followed for a period of twenty years. During this time, more than 800 individuals developed Parkinson's. Detailed analysis of their diets and adjusting for age and lifestyle, male participants who ate the most flavonoids were shown to be forty percent less likely to develop the disease than those who ate the least.
Participants consuming one or more portions of berry fruits each week were around twenty-five percent less likely to develop Parkinson's disease, relative to those who did not eat berry fruits. Flavonoids are the bioactive, naturally occurring chemical compounds found in many plant-based foods and drinks.
Juice Plus really has a brilliant answer to the problem of how to eat enough  fresh, raw ripe fruits and berries. Vineyard blend has 9 berries ! The complete range has 26 !!
When did you eat enough ?
