Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest....be in health.....

"Abdominal aortic calcification
(AAC) is the calcification of the abdominal aorta — the largest artery
in the body which supplies oxygenated blood from the heart to the
abdominal organs and lower limbs — and is a predictor of cardiovascular
risk such as heart attack and stroke. It has also been found to be a
reliable predictor for late-life dementia.
“While there are many dietary sources of flavonoids, some havae particularly high amounts,” said Ben Parmenter, a researcher with the Nutrition and Health Innovation Research Institute at Edith Cowan University.
“In most populations, a small group of foods and beverages — uniquely
high in flavonoids — contribute the bulk of total dietary flavonoid
intake.”
“The main contributors are usually blueberries,
strawberries, oranges, apples, raisins/grapes and dark
chocolate.”
The participants who had a higher intake of total flavonoids,
flavan-3-ols and flavonols were 36-39% less likely to have extensive
AAC." Science
