Grapes are rich in glucose and various vitamins, which have a significant effect on protecting the liver, reducing ascites and lower limb edema. They can also increase plasma albumin concentration and reduce transaminase content. Recently, the French magazine "Prescription" conducted an inventory of some of the health benefits of eating grapes for us.
1. Kill cancer cells. Frontier research at Pennsylvania State University in the United States has found that compounds in grapes can kill colon cancer stem cells in culture dishes and mice; Another study found that mice who ate grapes had a 50% reduction in tumor incidence.
2. Suppress respiratory inflammation. Research from Georgia State University in the United States has shown that resveratrol in grapes can serve as an antioxidant to combat inflammation caused by respiratory pathogens.
3. Helping lose weight. Frontier research from the University of Florida in the United States has confirmed that grape seed oil can slow down the formation of human adipocytes, effectively reduce weight, and avoid obesity.
4. Reduce the side effects of chemotherapy. Research from the University of Adelaide in Australia has shown that grape seeds can significantly reduce chemotherapy induced small intestinal inflammation and tissue damage.
5. Beneficial for vision. The joint research of Jinan University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences found that oligomeric proanthocyanidins rich in grape seeds can protect eye vision by inhibiting cell apoptosis.
6. Sunscreen. Researchers from the University of Barcelona in the United States and the National Research Council of Spain have stated that flavonoids in grapes can prevent the production of enzymes that damage the skin, protect skin cells from damage, and even prevent skin cancer.
7. Helping memory. A cutting-edge study in the United States has shown that eating grapes can help slow down or even prevent memory decline. Researchers at the University of Cincinnati in the United States observed 12 volunteers aged 75-80 with early symptoms of memory loss and found that those who drank grape juice regularly had an upward trend in their memory levels. Grape juice is four times richer in antioxidants than orange juice, helping to maintain vascular elasticity and lower blood pressure.
