Grapes are Great


Nature gives us a wide variety of fruits with many differents flavors, textures, and properties. I like a lot of fruits, but I strongly believe that grapes are “the gift” of nature. They are made of 90% of water, sugars, minerals, innumerable vitamins and fibers. They are one of the most helpful fruits for our health and beauty.

Grapes improve our health. Consumption of grapes activates and improves the operation of the liver and kidneys. It also prevents cancer, thanks to Resveratrol, a component of the purple grape skin. It is thought that this component can avoid the development of carcinogenic cells. The extract of seeds is helpful to avoid breast cancer and reduce cholesterol.

This fruit will also make you look gorgeous, and it can help you to mantain young skin and a beautiful body. If you have problems with wrinkles, you can mash some grapes and apply it on your skin for twenty minutes; your skin will be soft and moisturized. If you didn’t sleep well or you look tired and have bags under the eyes, you boil the leaves of the grapevine and apply this water, when cool, on your eyes. The Romans already knew about grapes’ properties and they invented “The cure of Grapes” which consists of eating only grapes during seven to nine days. It is ideal to detoxify, to lose weight, and to rejuvenate.

The last and the best characteristic of grapes is their awsome taste. You can enjoy the sweetness of the purple grapes or the little bit more acid taste of the green ones.

As you may see grapes are great. I think a lot of you will be fan of them from now on, since they help you to obtain good health and a good body, not to mention their awesome taste.
