Flavonoids
The Benefits: These are very much like vitamins in that they act to make biological processes work faster and act as antioxidants. Some increase the ability of certain enzymes to metabolize potential cancer-causing compounds into harmless compounds. For age reduction, the RDA for flavonoids is 31 mg. per day. This can make your real age as much as 3.2 years younger. Great Sources: Cranberries, 1 c. = 13.0 mg. Cranberry juice, 8 oz. = 13.0 mg. Tea (not herbal), 8 oz. = 7.2 mg. Tomato juice, 8 oz. = 7.2 mg. Apples, one medium = 4.2 mg. Applesauce, 1 c. = 4.2 mg. Strawberries, 1 c. = 4.2 mg. Broccoli, 1 c. = 4.2 mg. Onions, 1 c. or one small = 3.0 mg. Red wine, one 5-oz. glass = 3.0 mg. And, if you're wondering how to up your intake of flavonoids, try this great recipe; Grape & Arugula Salad
