One of the
only fruits I eat is grape!
And grapes
are healthy too!!! Because…
1.
Beneficial Antioxidants
Grapes are
rich in antioxidants, including resveratrol and flavonoids. Research suggests
that whole grapes deliver the same amount of antioxidants in grape juice and
wine with the added benefit of providing dietary fiber. See all the vitamins
& nutrients in grapes.
2. Prevent
Heart Disease
The
polyphenols found in grapes have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease
and support a healthy heart by promoting relaxation of blood vessels to help
maintain healthy blood flow and function.
3. Weight
Loss
To lose
weight, you should eat more foods, like grapes, that are low in energy density
or calories. This helps you feel full on fewer calories. Research shows eating
flavonoid-packed grapes can also help you maintain a healthy weight.
4. Eye
Health
Research
suggests that regular grape consumption may play a role in eye health by
protecting the retina from deterioration. Specifically, a grape-enriched diet
resulted in a protective effect on retinal structure and function.
5. Blood
Pressure
Grapes are
recommended for people with high blood pressure to negate the effects of sodium
on the body. Seedless green grapes contain around 175 milligrams of potassium
per cup, red grapes have nearly 290 milligrams, and black grapes have 200
milligrams.
6. Blood
Sugar and Diabetes
They may
taste sweet, but grapes don’t elevate blood sugar, nor do they significantly
increase insulin levels. So people with diabetes can eat grapes. And choosing
foods with a lower insulin response rate, like grapes, can prevent you from
developing the insulin resistance characteristic of Type 2 diabetes.
7. Colon
Health
In a small
study of colon cancer patients, a grape-enriched diet was shown to inhibit
certain genes that promote tumor growth. This was observed in the healthy
tissue of the subjects’ colons, indicating the potential role for grapes to
maintain a healthy colon.
