In general, grapes, but especially red berries, contain antioxidants, substances with an anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor effect, which support cognitive function. Yet grape care is not suitable for all people.
It is advisable to consume the grapes whole, therefore, before washing them very well under a strong jet of water.
Careful! Most of the valuable ingredients, especially antioxidants, are found in the kernels. To benefit from the precious substances of grapes, in the production of juice we must use a high-performance device that crushes the seeds to extract their precious principles. Grape seeds are rich in healthy vegetable oils, minerals and vitamin B complex. A very valuable oil is extracted from grape seeds.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant found in the skin / peel of grapes.
One explanation of the French habit of drinking a glass of red wine almost every day is the rich content of resveratrol. For this reason, resveratrol is also called the “French paradox”.
In particular, resveratrol is a protector against cardiovascular disease. Other rich sources of this substance are dark fruits, such as blackberries, currants, blueberries, blueberries, but also peanuts and pistachios.
Grapes contain a large amount of sugar. That is why small and red berried grapes are recommended, where the amount of antioxidants is high and the amount of sugar is lower.
One kilogram of grapes can come with about 200 grams of sugar. Thus, the day we eat two or three generous bunches, we give up carbohydrates, fats, sweets.
Due to the high sugar content, the must should be drunk in moderation and avoided by those suffering from diabetes.
According to nutritionists, grape cure is not suitable for people suffering from diabetes, severe kidney problems, high blood pressure, water retention, chronic diarrhea or colitis.
And overweight people need to be cautious. The explanation is given by Dr. Mihaela Bilic: “The sugar of the fruits, that is fructose, is transformed into alcohol through fermentation. And this happens in the barrel or in our liver … for those who do not know that the fruit eaten in excess makes you fat “.
