Lately I’ve been going crazy over
Grapes.
I’ve recently discovered that Grapes
have
many health benefits that will help me
stay young and active and can help me live longer. Widely popular, grapes are regarded in
many
cultures as “the queen of fruits". These
tiny
berries are the storehouse of numerous
health promoting phyto-nutrients such as
poly-phenolic
antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. => During my research here’s some
interesting facts I’ve un-covered: - Grapes are rich in Resveratrol.
Resveratrol is one of
the powerful anti-oxidant, which has
been found to
play a protective role against cancers of
colon and prostate, coronary heart disease (CHD),
degenerative
nerve disease, Alzheimer's disease and
viral/ fungal infections. - Resveratrol reduces stroke risk by
altering the
molecular mechanisms in the blood
vessels. - They are an also good source of
vitamin-C, vitamin A,
vitamin K, carotenes, B-complex
vitamins such
as pyridoxine, riboflavin, and thiamin. - In addition, the berries are very low in
calories.
100 g fresh grapes just provide 69
calories
but zero cholesterol levels.
