A diet rich in fruit, fibre, dairy, and caffeine may lower the risk of tinnitus, according to research from China published in BMJ Open.
Eating a diet rich in fruit, fibre, dairy, and caffeine may lower the risk of suffering tinnitus, research suggests.
Tinnitus, characterized by noises without an external source, can significantly impact quality of life and has been linked to mental health issues.
The study, published in BMJ Open, involved analysis of eight observational studies with 301,533 participants, examining dietary factors like caffeine and fruits, finding potential protective effects.
"The primary underlying mechanisms may involve the protective effects of these diets on blood vessels and nerves, as well as their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties," stated researchers, although they advised caution due to overall low quality of evidence.
Caffeine, fruit, dietary fibre, and dairy products were all negatively associated with tinnitus incidence, reducing risk by 35%, 9%, 17%, and 10%, respectively.
