Micronutrients & recovery
An incremental increase of 10 mg/day in flavonol intake is associated with a 5% reduction in CVD risk.
Increasing your daily flavonol intake by just 10 mg (e.g., adding a small serving of onions or berries) is associated with a modest 5% lower risk of heart disease. Small, consistent dietary additions matter.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
The summary RR for CVD for every 10 mg/d increment in flavonol intake was 0·95 (95 % CI 0·91, 0·99).
Why this rating
Based on 10 studies with sufficient data for dose-response analysis.
