Crystal grapes therapeutic effects

Many people only know that crystal grapes are delicious, but they don’t know their therapeutic effects, right? Let me tell you.

Colorful grapes have different therapeutic effects

According to Chinese medicine, grapes are mild in nature, sweet and sour in taste, and enter the spleen, lung, and kidney meridians. They can produce fluid and quench thirst, replenish qi and blood, strengthen tendons and bones, and promote urination. The Shennong Herbal Classic states that grapes "replenish qi and build strength, strengthen will, make people fat and strong, and resist hunger. Eating them for a long time can make people light and prolong their life." They are mainly used to treat qi and blood deficiency, dizziness and fatigue, lung deficiency cough, palpitations and night sweats, rheumatism and pain, urinary incontinence, edema and oliguria.

Modern pharmacological research shows that the polyphenols contained in grapes are natural free radical scavengers with strong antioxidant activity, which can effectively adjust the function of liver cells and resist or reduce the damage of free radicals; the trace element boron contained in grapes can help menopausal women maintain estrogen in plasma, which is beneficial to calcium absorption and prevent osteoporosis; the natural polymerized phenol contained in grapes can combine with the proteins of viruses or bacteria to make them lose the ability to transmit diseases;

The ellagic acid and resveratrol contained in grapes have strong anti-cancer effects. Drinking wine in moderation every day, preferably red wine, can reduce the death of coronary heart disease. This is because wine can reduce the content of low-density lipoprotein while increasing the high-density lipoprotein in plasma, reducing the brittle cracking of arteriosclerosis and maintaining elasticity. In addition, it also has anti-inflammatory effects and can bind to proteins in bacteria and viruses, making them lose their pathogenicity.

Grapes of different colors have different effects

Red, white, green, purple, and black, grapes on the market come in different colors. In addition to the common nutrients in grapes, grapes of different colors have different nutritional preferences. Red grapes contain reverse enzymes, which can soften blood vessels, promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and prevent thrombosis. Cardiovascular patients may wish to eat more of them. Reverse enzymes are most abundant in the skin of red grapes, so it is best to eat them with the skin. White grapes have the effect of replenishing lung qi and moistening the lungs, and are very suitable for people with coughs and respiratory diseases. Green grapes focus on clearing heat and detoxifying. Purple grapes are rich in anthocyanins, which can beautify and resist aging. Black grapes nourish yin and kidneys, making hair darker and brighter.

"Eat grapes without spitting out the skins." From a nutritional point of view, this jingle should be changed to "Eat grapes without spitting out the skins and seeds." Grape skins and seeds contain most of the nutrients in grapes, so it is best to eat grapes whole. If you feel that the taste is not good, you can squeeze the grapes with the skins and seeds into grape juice for drinking. But a warning is that grapes are cold in nature, so people with cold stomachs should not eat too much at one time.
