Grapes reduce the risk of cancer and heart disease by lowering inflammation. Consuming grapes may add five years to your life, as this “superfood” cleanses fats and refined sugars from processed foods, and regular consumption combats the effects of an unhealthy diet, according to research.


Grapes are rich in compounds that promote good gut bacteria and lower cholesterol, and they contain antioxidants that reduce inflammation, decreasing the risk of heart disease and cancer.


Grapes actually change gene expression, explained Dr. Pezzuto, Professor of Pharmacy at Western New England University in the USA, author of over 600 studies. He added: “This is truly remarkable.” In a series of experiments, mice were fed a high-fat diet typically consumed in Western countries.


They also received a daily supplement of powdered grapes in an amount equivalent to one bowl. The mice had less fat in their liver and lived longer than their peers. Dr. Pezzuto said: “The observed changes in the study would translate to four to five additional years in a human's lifespan.”


The team also found that grapes improve neuron function, offering protection against Alzheimer’s disease. They observed positive effects on behavior and cognition, which were impaired in mice fed a high-fat diet without the grape extract.


A third study showed that, in addition to its other benefits, grapes also help burn calories by increasing metabolism. Specifically, grapes may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), both of which are linked to the consumption of unhealthy foods.
