Grapes do not just contain vitamins and nutrients. No less important is the fact that they mostly consist of water.
They contain carbohydrates, which means they are a source of energy, but the glycemic index of grapes is considered moderate.
We'll tell you why it's so important to eat grapes.
Benefits of grapes
The berries contain vitamins A, B, C, K, as well as potassium, selenium, iron, biotin, folic acid, phytocompounds, polyphenols and flavonoids.
Thanks to these qualities, grapes promote hematopoiesis, increase the body's defenses, and are beneficial for the brain and the human body's performance in general.
Berries are good for the heart. Procyanidin, which is part of grapes, prevents atherosclerosis, normalizes blood pressure, reduces the risk of blood clots, which generally protects against heart disease.
Quercetin reduces the risk of heart attack and lowers bad cholesterol levels.
Resveratrol protects against infections, has anti-cancer properties, and slows down skin aging.
In addition, fisetin, which is part of grapes, improves memory.
