9 SUPER FACTS ABOUT GRAPES!

              FACTS ABOUT GRAPES

1. Grapes really are good for you.

As with many types of fruit, grapes are packed with wonderful nutrients. In particular, they are a fantastic source of Vitamin C, as well as copper and potassium. You’ll also find that they offer you a fair amount of Vitamin K, more so than any other nutrient.

2. But, watch the sugar.

However, grapes can be fairly carby. For every 100 calories’ worth of grapes, you can expect to claim back 26-27g carbohydrates. As you can imagine, much of this is going to be natural sugar. Remember that natural sugar is always better than added sweetener!

3. That said…

Grapes have a very low glycaemic index. This means that they will barely impact your blood sugar. Despite the fact that you’re going to expect about 23g of sugar per cup of grapes, some studies believe that a grape diet might actually help to keep blood sugar levels low.

4. The psychological impact of a grape!

It’s thought that grapes could affect your mood and memory. Studies have shown that grape diets can help to inspire better moods, as well as to improve scores on cognitive testing. Studies are ongoing but eating a couple of grapes occasionally might help to ease that mental strain.

Your eyes are going to need a certain number of proteins to be able to function at a healthy level, and it seems that grapes can help to provide these elements. They also contain a handful of carotenoids, which may help to protect your eyesight.

8. Bones love grapes, too.

Grapes can also help to improve your overall bone health. Thanks to high levels in minerals such as potassium and manganese, a bunch of grapes is likely to boost your skeletal strength by an impressive extent. However, there doesn’t seem to be much in the way of studies into grapes and human bone strength just yet.

9. Are grapes the secret to long life?

Studies also suggest that grapes, high in resveratrol, may help to keep you living for longer. Resveratrol is thought to be linked to longevity through your genes, meaning that if you much a few grapes every now and again, you might just have a chance at living longer than you expect.
