Enjoy Grapes and get health benefits



The goodness of grapes.

I am writing the following informations on the basis of the knowledge got from a paper report.
The researches say that eating grapes may slow or help prevent the onset of age related macular degeneration (AMD), a debilitating condition affecting millons of elderly people worldwide. A new study compared the impact of an antioxidant-rich diet on vision using mice prone to developing retinal damage in old age in much the same way as humans do. Mice either received a grape-enriched diet, a diet with added lutein, or a normal diet. The result showed that the grape-enriched diet protected against oxidative damage of the retina and prevented blindness in those mice consuming grapes. While lutein was also effective, grapes were found to offer significantly more protection. Following are some pictures of Grapes.



Preserving eye health is a key concern as we age and this study shows that grapes may play a critical role in the life of old age people. Hence all aged people should take the above informations in a right way in order to protect their eyes.
