Grapes
DESCRIPTION
Grapes have antioxidants, like resveratrol, which protect the body from free radical damage, helping to pave the way towards healthy living.
ORIGIN
Grapes are botanically true berries due to its fruit wall or pericarp being fleshy all the way through. They grow on woody vines of the genus Vitis. There are over 60 Vitis species, with centers of diversity spread out in China and North America.
PROPERTIES
Grapes boast of a number of health benefits, particularly because these tart fruits are rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and resveratrol. Antioxidants protect our bodies from damage induced by free radicals, which tamper with how our cells function, possibly speeding up aging and causing health problems like cancer and heart disease. Flavonoids are the compounds that give grapes their vibrant purple color. The stronger the color, the higher the concentration of flavonoids. It has been suggested that flavonoids may help decrease the risk of heart disease and some forms of cancer. Resveratrol could possibly have anti-cancer properties and may reduce the risk of heart disease. Apart from this, resveratrol may also aid in weight loss, possibly slowing down the aging process and may prolong lifespan, boosting metabolism and immune system, and possibly contributing to our overall wellness as we make our way towards healthy living.
Green Tea Extract
DESCRIPTION
