Episode notes
Use Tea As A Flavonoid Source
- Make tea part of your daily fluid intake to gain flavonoid benefits with low caffeine exposure.
- Aim to meet daily fluid needs (women ~2.1L, men ~2.6L) and tea counts toward that total.
Flavonoids Lower Diabetes Risk
- Diets high in flavonoids (berries, apples, tea, vegetables) are linked with lower diabetes risk.
- Each extra flavonoid serving reduced diabetes risk by about 6% and highest consumers had ~30% lower risk.
Practical Ways To Get Flavonoids
- If you dislike salads, use practical swaps like tea, baked potatoes or smoothies to add flavonoids.
- Cooked fruit and vegetables often retain or enhance some flavonoids, so prepare them in ways you’ll actually eat.
