Grape benefits

 The benefits of grapes are their content of nutrients. Here are some of the nutrients found in grapes: They are rich in antioxidants: compounds that help repair cell damage caused by free radicals that cause oxidative stress, which is associated with many chronic diseases;  Such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and the high content of grapes of antioxidants, and other beneficial plant compounds that amount to 1,600 compounds, which are found in high concentrations in grape peels and seeds. It should be noted that red grapes contain a higher amount of antioxidants;  This is due to its content of anthocyanins, which are responsible for the red color.[1] Another example of an antioxidant found in grapes is Resveratrol;  Which is classified as a polyphenol compound, and a review published in Medicina in 2016 found that resveratrol has many benefits;  Such as: reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer, and lowering blood sugar levels,[2] It should also be noted that grapes contain some other antioxidant compounds;  Vitamin C, lutein, quercetin, beta-carotene, lycopene, and ellagic acid [1] is a source of vitamin K.  Grapes are a good source of vitamin K;  One cup of it, equal to 151 grams, covers 28% of the recommended amount of this vitamin;  Important for bone health and helps blood clotting, as a deficiency of this vitamin can increase the risk of bleeding (English: Hemorrhaging), and it may increase the risk of osteoporosis, but more studies are still needed to prove this.[1]  [3] A source of vitamin C: grapes contain vitamin C, and one cup of it, equal to 151 grams, covers 27% of the recommended amount of this vitamin;  Which helps to strengthen the body's immunity, and tissue repair;  As wound healing.[1][4] A source of potassium: One cup of green or red grapes, weighing 151 grams, contains 8% of the recommended amount for consumption of this vitamin, which is necessary for heart and kidney functions, transmission of nerve signals, and muscle contraction.  5 [1] The benefits of grapes according to the degree of effectiveness There is insufficient evidence for its effectiveness. Reducing the risk of heart disease: A review published in The Journal of Nutrition in 2009 indicated that eating grapes and other foods rich in polyphenols is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.  Incidence of cardiovascular disease,[6] as for people suffering from heart disease, a study published in the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation in 2005 found that the polyphenolic compounds found in red grapes improve the functions of the endothelial layer (English: Endothelial function).  In the blood vessels of patients with coronary heart disease (English: Coronary heart disease).[7]
