A group of scientists working at Western New England University conducted extensive research on grapes. Research has revealed the benefits of eating grapes for human health. The benefits of eating fruit have already been known for a long time, but research on grapes has revealed that this fruit is almost a miracle of nature.
According to the article, the results of which were published in the journal Food, three studies were conducted on grapes. The researches deepened the findings about grapes obtained in previous periods. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of grapes for human health.
It prevents dementia!

It turned out that the antioxidants in grapes, which are already known to be very effective against diseases and cancer, are also very important for the brain. According to researchers, grape antioxidants improve the function of neurons and nerve cells, thus supporting the brain. Experts explained that grapes are an effective weapon against dementia.
Eating grapes extends life
The second study at Western New England University also looked at grapes’ connection to the liver. In the examinations, it was determined that this fruit prevents the storage of excess fat in the liver. According to experts, preventing fatty liver extends human life by 5 years on average. However, it is not enough to consume grapes alone to live longer. Therefore, it would not be correct to directly say “Grapes extend the lifespan by 5 years”.

The third study revealed that the consumption of grapes increases the metabolic rate. Increasing the metabolic rate meant losing weight. In other words, the consumption of grapes also helped to lose weight.
One of the study’s co-authors, Dr. John Pezzuto made statements about the study. Saying that the saying “You are what you eat” is once again understood how true it is, Pezzuto warned people to eat grapes…
