A popular fruit, grapes might come to mind with many uses. Under the correct treatment and conditions, the “fruit of the vine” makes one of the most desirable beverages in the world. Dried grapes (raisins) can be a lovely addition to salads and yogurt. Fresh, seedless grapes can be used to make grape juice, and they’re a handy snack all by themselves.
A delicious lunchbox treat, grapes also contain health benefits for your heart, eyes, brain, blood, and joints (to name just a few areas of the body grapes are good for) with the seed and skin containing the richest concentration of antioxidants.
Health Benefits of Grapes
Like so many other plant-based foods, grapes can be considered healthy for a variety of reasons. They contain 17% of the daily value of vitamin K, and 33% in manganese, but the polyphenol resveratrol content represents one of the most important phytonutrients because of its ability to protect against colon and prostate cancers, coronary heart disease, degenerative nerve disease, and even Alzheimer’s.
Anthocyanins, another plentiful antioxidant polyphenolic in red grapes, generate anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-cancer activities. Oligopeptides (peptides or amino acids) with antibacterial properties, and catechins (a type of flavonoid antioxidants) found in white grape varieties, also abound with health-protecting properties.
Grapes inhibit “bad” LDL cholesterol and plaque build-up in the arteries. They are rich in micronutrient minerals like copper and manganese, an essential co-factor of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase. Grapes have a low glycemic index and contain the hormone and antioxidant melatonin, as well as about 191 mg of the electrolyte potassium per 100 grams. Iron is particularly concentrated in raisins.Inflammation is the basis of many life-threatening diseases of the body. Messaging molecules (such as interleukin) and pro-inflammatory enzymes (like cyclo-oxygenase) that advance inflammation can be defused by grape intake.However, consume grapes in moderation because they contain fructose, which may be harmful to your health in excessive amounts.
