After a long time, I purchased Red seedless grapes from a Safeway store. Out of curiosity, I looked up the web for benefits of eating grapes and here is a compilation of the same.
- Eating Red Grapes cuts the risk of cancer.
- Red grapes are rich in flavonoids – a group of organic compounds made of water-soluble plant pigments.
- Chemicals in grapes can help thin the blood, preventing clots that provoke heart attacks and strokes.
- Antioxidants in red grapes help prevent bad Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol from oxidizing and clogging arteries.
- Chemicals in red grapes also seem to dilate and relax blood vessels and aid in controlling blood pressure.
- Disease-fighting antioxidants are concentrated in a grape's skin and seeds. Deeper pigments have more antioxidants. Hence red grapes are more oxidant rich than green ones.
