Why The Heart Loves Grapes

Grapes satisfy hunger and purify the blood. New research by the University of Michigan states that eating grapes, one of the favorite fruits of all time, significantly enhances the simple blood pressure which lowers the impact that comes from eating a variety of fruits and vegetables. It is noted that the grapes' naturally occurring antioxidants is the key to this blood pressure lowering.
Our heart cells, like other cells in our body, already make a protective antioxidant called glutathione, a first-line of defense against oxidative stress and heart disease; but high blood pressure lowers the levels of glutathione. Grapes, on the other hand, actually turn on the glutathione-regulating genes in the heart, giving natural antioxidant power a significant boost.

Next time you need a snack consider eating some grapes. It couldn't hurt and might just lower your blood pressure in the process.
