Grape juice not only has antiviral properties but is also a good source of calcium. Not only that, grape juice is also good for the heart and blood cholesterol levels.
One of the biggest benefits of grapes is that they contain two antioxidants, resveratrol and flavonoids. These antioxidants are found in both red and purple grapes, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).
Grape juice not only helps reduce blood cholesterol but also reduces constipation
Some research evidence suggests that the antioxidants in grapes may improve blood vessel function, reduce inflammation, and lower “bad” LDL cholesterol. All of these benefits may help reduce plaque buildup in artery walls, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
The amount of grape juice people can drink each day is about 240 ml. Drinking too much will cause the body to absorb too much sugar, increase the amount of calories absorbed, easily cause high blood sugar and weight gain.
Not only red and purple grapes, white grapes are also very good for health. A study published in the journal Nutrition showed that white grape juice has the ability to help reduce body mass index and waist circumference in women, while increasing "good" HDL cholesterol by 16%.
Notes when using grape juice
Grape juice is good but not suitable for everyone. Experts recommend that people with diabetes or on a low-calorie diet should not drink grape juice.
On the contrary, people who are constipated due to a low-fiber diet or side effects of medication will benefit from drinking grape juice, especially when the juice has not completely filtered out the flesh and skin of the grapes. The juice will then be rich in fiber, helping to improve digestion and reduce constipation.
Additionally, grape juice may interact with certain medications such as amiodarone, atorvastatin, carbamazepine, felodipine, simvastatin, and tacrolimus. People taking any of these medications should limit their intake of grape juice.
In addition to grapes, juices such as apple, pomegranate, tomato, and cucumber juices also have the effect of lowering blood cholesterol. This benefit comes from the abundant content of soluble fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants in the juice, according to Medical News Today .
