Grape juiceGrape juicecardiovascular disease has already become a habit of many people. But what about those who do not take alcohol even in minimal quantities? Drink grape juice, scientists say! Of course, grape juice does not relax as much as alcohol, but thanks to the flavonoids and beneficial substances it contains, it helps to reduce the level of "bad" cholesterol and prevent blood vessels, normalize blood pressure, and reduce the risk of cholesterol deposition on the walls of blood vessels. Such conclusions were made by scientists after conducting several studies. For example, an experiment organized by the University of Wisconsin involved 15 people suffering from various forms of cardiovascular disease. For 2 weeks, they drank 2 servings of grape juice a day, which led to the normalization of blood pressure and a decrease in the level of "bad" cholesterol, which can destroy the walls of blood vessels. Results from other experiments involving both humans and animals have also shown the beneficial effects of daily grape juice on the cardiovascular system. Scientists note that only juices from dark grape varieties, such as Concord grapes, have the most beneficial qualities. However, caution should be exercised: store-bought juices contain too much sugar, dyes, and other chemicals.
