Specific alimentary habits, including oriental and Mediterranean diets characterized by high consumption of vegetables, fruits, cereals and, for the Mediterranean diet, olive oil, are associated with a reduction of risk of cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, and some cancers. Numerous beverages contain diverse natural compounds, termed phytochemicals, that have been reported to exert antitumor, antiangiogenic, and antioxidant properties. Here we review the chemopreventive and angiopreventive properties of selected phytochemicals found in common beverages: epigallocatechin(green tea), triterpenoids (citrus juices), resveratrol (red wine), xanthohumol (beer), procyanidin (chocolate), and caffeine (coffee), focusing on their molecular mechanisms, providing "ready to drink" prevention approaches.
特定的饮食习惯，包括以大量食用蔬菜、水果、谷物为特点的东方饮食以及地中海饮食（地中海饮食还包括橄榄油），与心血管疾病、2型糖尿病、神经退行性疾病和某些癌症的风险降低相关。许多饮料含有多种天然化合物，即植物化学物质，据报道这些物质具有抗肿瘤、抗血管生成和抗氧化特性。在此，我们综述常见饮料中发现的某些植物化学物质的化学预防和血管预防特性：表没食子儿茶素（绿茶）、三萜类化合物（柑橘汁）、白藜芦醇（红酒）、黄腐酚（啤酒）、原花青素（巧克力）和咖啡因（咖啡），重点关注其分子机制，提供“即饮型”预防方法。
