Grape
Grape is a fruitful plant of vines that belong to the Vitaceae family. The fruit is usually used to make grape juice, jelly, wine, grape seed oil and raisins, or eaten directly. This fruit is also known for containing many polyphenolic and resveratol compounds that play an active role in various metabolism of the body, and can prevent the formation of cancer cells and various other diseases. This activity is also associated with the presence of secondary metabolite compounds in grapes that act as a compound of oxidants capable of preventing free radicals.

This plant has been cultivated since 4000 BC in the Middle East. However, the process of processing grapes into a new wine was discovered in 2500 BC by the Egyptians. Just a few moments ago, this process of processing is immediately widespread to various parts of the world, ranging from areas in the Black Sea, Spain, Germany, France, and Austria. The spread of this fruit grows rapidly with the travel of Columbus that brings this fruit around the world.
Routine to eat red grapes good to keep your beauty and health. Here are the various benefits of red wine that I missed.
- Prevent cancer
Red wine is rich in resveratrol, which is a kind of antioxidant that serves to prevent the growth of cancer cells in the body. This content is also good for dispelling harmful radiation such as ultraviolet A (UVA) and B (UVB) light from the sun. Exposure to radiation is at risk of causing skin cancer.
- Against premature aging
The content of antioxidants in red wine serves to capture free radicals in the body. Free radicals come from pollution, chemicals from food or skin care products, or from cigarettes. Free radicals will damage and kill various cells in the body. Cell damage is what can cause premature aging. Symptoms include skin wrinkles, gray hair, or bone loss.
- Maintaining brain health
The benefits of red wine can also be felt by your brain. Revesratrol in red wine can accelerate blood circulation to the brain. Blood takes the brain as a source of oxygen and nutrients in order to function properly. In addition, a study in Germany proves that revestratrol can help strengthen human memory.
- Relieves allergic and inflammatory symptoms
Red wine has anti-inflammatory properties of antihistamines. So, this fruit is well consumed you who are sick of inflammation such as pneumonia, sore throat, or appendicitis. Meanwhile, antihistamines are needed by the body when histamine (a natural substance produced by the human immune system) reacts excessively. Histamine reactions can produce allergic hazards.
- Balancing cholesterol levels
This fruit is efficacious to balance cholesterol levels thanks to saponin content. This substance can capture the excess cholesterol in the body before it is absorbed into the blood. That way, your cholesterol levels remain balanced. Cholesterol levels can keep you away from diseases such as obesity and heart disease.
