Two Cups Of Grapes Daily Is
Beneficial For Liver Health
A healthy
lifestyle can help protect us from chronic diseases to a great extent. This may
be possible because in order to stay healthy we care about the protection of
the internal organs which is directly related to a healthy diet.
Consuming
about two cups of grapes in the diet reduces fatty deposits on the liver and
prolongs life.
During the
experiments, mice were fed a high-fat diet. At the same time, grape juice was
also given daily in a small pot. The results showed that these mice had less
fat on their livers and lived longer than their fellow mice
Adding
grapes to a high-fat diet also increases the levels of antioxidant genes and
slows natural death.
The
research, led by John Pizzotto, dean of the Western New England University
College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, determined whether grapes could
counteract the effects of a high-fat Western diet.
Professor
Pizzoto said that the change revealed in the research will be related to the
increase in human life by four to five years.

of studies was published in the journal Food.
