Eating Grapes Does Your Heart Good
Until recently, research on the heart-protective benefits of grapes has focused mainly on wine and grape juice. But what about grapes eaten fresh, known as table grapes?

A growing body of research suggests that the polyphenols found in table grapes are largely responsible for the benefits.

In a study published in the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, researchers at the University of Connecticut tested whether grapes and their component polyphenols are also heart-protective.

In this new study, researchers confirmed that grape polyphenols are effective antioxidants. Table grape consumption improved blood flow and heart pumping capacity, and reduced the area of tissue death after a heart attack. Researchers attributed these effects mainly to the antioxidant effect of grapes.
