Many serious illnesses can be prevented by avoiding bad habits, exercising, and eating well. Experts said that a product that is in every store is able to cope with several ailments at once. We are talking about grapes.
For example, one cup of red or green grapes contains 28% of the RDA for vitamin K, a nutrient essential for bone and heart health. Plus, one cup of grapes contains 288 mg of potassium, which plays a key role in lowering blood pressure. And red grapes contain compounds that can help lower total and bad LDL cholesterol.
“The polyphenols in grapes have been proven to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, help prevent bad cholesterol from sticking to the walls of blood vessels, and maintain vascular elasticity, thereby lowering blood pressure,” certified dietitian Paul Kleybrook is quoted as saying by the media.
Research has shown that eating grapes supports not only physical but also cognitive health. In the experiment, the adults ate grapes daily, resulting in better results on their attention and memory tests.
And the antioxidants in grapes protect the body from free radical damage and the cells from oxidative stress associated with the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes.
