Grapes are some of the best and most appreciated fruits. Their season begins in August and lasts until the end of October, or even more if the autumn is long. Despite the idea of fattening, grapes have the great quality of being among the lowest glycemic index, the value being between 43 and 53, depending on the variety. Nor is it a danger in terms of caloric intake, with about 70 calories per 100 grams. But these are not the only reasons why you should not refuse a portion of grapes. Here are just some of the benefits of these fruits with extraordinary sanogenic properties:

1. Strengthens the body and strengthens the immune system.

The vitamin B1, B2, B3, PP, A, and C vitamins collection fills you with forces and activates antibody formation, increasing resistance to infections, viruses and bacteria.

2. Favors cellular metabolism due to the microelements contained: molybdenum, titanium, rubidium, cobalt, nickel, vanadium, iodine, bromine, flor.

3. Take care of the cardiovascular device.

Magnesium and potassium in the composition fortify the walls of the blood vessels and the heart muscle, reducing the risk of stroke or myocardial infarction. It has been found that people who frequently eat grapes can reduce the risk of myocardial infarction by up to 50%.

4. Purifies the kidneys and supports the process of natural destruction and removal of kidney stones.

5. Treat gout, favoring the elimination of uric acid, which prevents the normal functioning of the joints.

For this purpose, varieties of green and yellow berries are recommended.

6. They have anti-stress effect.

Being a significant source of fructose and glucose (about 20%) - easily assimilated sugars, grapes facilitate serotonin secretion, also called the "hormone of happiness", thus erupting nervous tension.

7. Cleanse the colon and improve digestion.

Because they are rich in phosphorus, potassium, and especially in fiber, grapes help dissolve lipids and eliminate accumulated toxins. The diuretic effect is stronger when the fruit is consumed on the empty stomach.

8. Take care of my eyes.

Regular consumption of black grapes prevents retinal lesions and macular degeneration (ophthalmic disease resulting in destruction of central vision). This is due to the resveratrol content, one of the most powerful natural antioxidants known but also picnogenol - the second exogenous antioxidant as a force; Lycopene, lutein, and bioflavonoids.

9. They are anti-aging.

Apply the fruit pulp in compresses to the wrinkled areas and press gently for 30-40 minutes. The antioxidant properties of polyphenols and polysaturated fatty acids, on the one hand, will combat the creation of free radicals - guilty of wrinkles and aging of the dermis, and on the other hand they regenerate elastin and collagen fibers, smoothing and repairing the skin.
