Red Grapes
The high phenolic content in grapes helps prevent oxidation of LDL (considered ‘bad’ cholesterol), which is a critical event in the process of atherogenesis. Red grapes are also a source of resveratrol which has received a lot of attention lately, as it’s been shown to play a role in a healthy heart. In addition, certain compounds found in grape seed extracts have shown promise in slowing the progression of Alzheimer’s and has made strides in the treatment of head and neck cancers.
