Grapes

Black grapes in particular are a fantastic beauty food! Anthocyanins are the flavonoid compound that gives black grapes their dark color; the darker the fruit, the higher the anthocyanin content. A natural antioxidant, anthocyanins protect your body from damage from free radicals. Produced as your body breaks down food, reducing the risk of cell damage and death and potentially slowing down the aging process. A study published in the 2010 “Annual Review of Food Science and Technology” found that anthocyanins may help reduce inflammation and cancer activity, alleviate diabetes and control obesity.

 

Skin Health

Consuming black grapes regularly will keep you looking, fresh and younger for longer! Reducing wrinkles, increasing elasticity of the skin, proper blood circulation which is what leads to  healthy, youthful and glowing skin.
