| 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. |
據英國《每日郵報》報道，科學家認為，吃紫色水果可以防止老年癡呆癥、心臟病和癌癥等與衰老有關的疾病。紫色水果中有一種復合物可以有效阻止鐵對人體的傷害。如果鐵以錯誤的形式直接進入消化系統，那么會破壞人體細胞。曼徹斯特大學科學家研究發現，多吃藍莓、黑莓、黑醋栗（即黑加侖）或李子等水果還可以防止多發性硬化癥和帕金森氏癥。研究人員稱，在專家建議的每天5種果蔬中，紫色水果應該占1、2種。 |
| Green tea contains a similar compound, as does curcumin, the key ingredient of the curry spice turmeric. Even chocolate may help but unfortunately red wine does not have the same effect. |
綠茶中和咖喱香料的主要元素姜黃素中也含有類似的復合物。另外，吃巧克力也有助于防止老年疾病，但是紅葡萄酒卻沒有此類作用。
