Citrus fruits
Women who consume large amounts of flavonoids such as those found in oranges and grapefruits have a 19% lower risk of having an ischemic stroke (caused by a clot). Citrus fruits are also rich in vitamin C, which has been associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Beware of citrus juices that contain added sugar. Also, be aware that products containing grapefruit can interfere with the action of cholesterol-lowering drugs.
