Grape Ideas
Go on and grab some grapes. They're good for your cholesterol.
Antioxidant compounds in grapes may help reduce cholesterol levels and other blood fats, a new study reported. The chemical cousins pterostilbene and resveratrol, found primarily in grape skins, appear to have cancer-fighting and anti-inflammatory properties as well.
Red wine has long been touted for its cardiovascular health benefits. Now, new research reveals that the grapes from which wine is made contain antioxidant compounds that may effectively lower cholesterol and triglycerides. Grapes also contain vitamin C, lutein, and zeaxanthin, compounds that may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by inhibiting atherosclerosis.
RealAge Benefit: Eating a diverse diet that includes 4 servings of fruit per day can make your RealAge as much as 4 years younger.
