New research finds ‘certain fruits help stop weight gain’

Eating fruit and vegetables — such as apples, pears, blueberries, strawberries and radishes — that are high in a key compound may help prevent weight gain.

Research from Harvard University and the University of East Anglia (UEA) has found that fruit and vegetables with high levels of flavonoids could help people maintain a healthy weight.

Flavonoids are plant compounds found in various foods and drinks, including a wide range of fruit and vegetables, tea, chocolate and wine.
