Guest Mary Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 Grapes Coronary heart disease, also called coronary artery disease or atherosclerotic heart disease, is the result of the accumulation of plaque build up on the walls of the arteries. This can ultimately lead to a blockage of the vessels that supply blood to the heart or the brain, resulting in a heart attack or stroke respectively. A study that appeared in the Journal of Nutrition shows that eating fresh grapes may prevent the accumulation of harmful oxidized cholesterol as well as the development of atherosclerotic lesions. Naturally occurring antioxidants in fresh grapes known as polyphenols are believed to be responsible for this beneficial impact. One polyphenol in particular, called resveratrol, has been shown to help protect against arterial wall damage by “bad” (LDL) cholesterol. Contained in the grape’s skin, resveratrol is found in grapes, grape juice, grape jelly, and wine. Grapes may also be potent against viruses and tumors because of their high concentration of another polyphenol, tannin. A team of Canadian scientists discovered that grapes eliminated disease-forming viruses in test tubes. Tannin, a virus fighter, seems to be the reason. These tannins are absorbed directly into the intestinal tract where they do the most good. Grapes also contain high levels of caffeic acid. This acid is a strong cancer fighting substance. Johanna Brandt tells us about her experience with grapes in her book The Grape Cure. She describes how she healed herself with a four-stage program, eating nothing but grapes. She even chewed the seeds. Time for a Glass of Wine? Dr. Mercola, author of Dr. Mercola's Total Health Program: The Proven Plan to Prevent Disease and Premature Aging, Optimize Weight and Live Longer says: “While red wine may appear to provide some great health benefits, I do not advise drinking it at all, as I am convinced that the alcohol itself is actually a poison and will unbalance your hormones. Also, drinking two or more glasses (of wine or any alcoholic beverage for that matter) may offset the benefit and actually increase your risk of certain cancers. So if you absolutely insist on drinking red wine, check on the growing conditions of the grapes used and how the wine is made. “Additionally, if the wine isn't made with organic grapes, it may not contain resveratrol, which rules out the benefits you seek. It is also important to understand that consuming large amounts of wine or grapes — which have a lower concentration of antioxidants than wine — will likely increase insulin levels and eventually have a negative impact on your health. Thus, it may be most beneficial to eat grape skins and pass up the meat of the grape, which has no resveratrol but a lot of extra fructose.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amcfx Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Unfortunately for me, grapes are very expensive here in my country, also with wine. Grapes are sold per kilo and 1 kilo's price is equal to a half a day's salary of a government employee. Imagine that! Good benefits come's with great prices.

pjbabia Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I like grapes too.. We buy grapes from the market once a week. They are good in health too. But I do not like the taste when it is about to rot. I like the fresh grape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the only thing is it takes time to make a good quality wine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeikob9 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 My love of good wine lasts for years and I buy red wine online. Buying wine online provides me with a wide selection, including the wines of some of the most exquisite wineries in the country. This is a more convenient way then driving to the store to buy wine. You just need to view the wine collection on the site and make a purchase. And one more aspect, recently and, more importantly, since there are many sellers in the network, they are trying to attract consumers by offering lower prices and this is very pleasing.

Fratto Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 21 minutes ago, Kasyro said: How to find a specialist in order to get a business plan for a winery? The most accurate and correct business plan can help you to write only that person who really has experience in this. I like the timeviewer application precisely because I can quickly find an expert in any field and get advice from this professional much faster than if I were looking for his website and waiting for a manager's call or trying to meet him in his office. I think that here you can also find the person who meets your requirements, has successful experience in creating wineries and is ready to help you with this.
