About Grapes Seedless

Grapes are more than just the source for the world’s finest wine - the fruits themselves are a wonder cure against heart attacks, according to new research.

Not only are grapes very tasty, they are excellent for your health too. It is widely known that consuming a glass of red wine a day is good for you, but eating red grapes everyday can have similar benefits. The health benefits are vast and we will see just how further on.

As you know, grapes come in different colors, mainly red or green but have you ever thought how they become red? It is the flavonoids which give red grapes their brilliant color. The health benefits of red grapes come from quercitin and resveratol types of flavonoids. These flavonoids are known for their disease prevention qualities.

As a flavonoid, resveratol is known for its protective qualities against heart disease. The rates of heart disease in the French are much lower than other countries and it is thought that it is due to the consumption of red wine and red grapes. The flavonoid has also shown to increase life expectancy as well as anti-cancer properties and anti-inflammatory benefits. The health benefits of red grapes goes further as it has been shown to prevent changes in the brain that comes with age in some animals. Scientists are hopeful that these results will pass directly over to humans.

The other health benefits of red grapes comes from another flavonoid called quercetin. This has an antihistamine affect as well as being an antioxidant, therefore allergies could be treated by consuming red grapes.

Red grapes are high in saponins, which are chemicals found in the outer skin. It's these chemicals which bind to cholesterol and stop them being absorbed into the blood which then helps prevent heart disease. The health benefits of red grapes and saponins in red grapes are that they have anti-tumor properties, are antibacterial and antiviral which explains the positive affect on the immune system.
