Two weeks of grapes showed benefits

Grapes are a delicious fruit that comes in different colors and varieties. Some grapes contain seeds while others are seedless.

This juicy and sweet fruit is packed with nutrients and antioxidants while being low in calories.

Humans have been eating grapes for thousands of years because of their taste and health benefits.

Now researchers have discovered another important benefit of eating grapes regularly.

A study conducted by researchers at Western New England University found that grapes may help protect the skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. According to the study eating grapes daily for two weeks caused positive genetic changes in the skin.

During the research volunteers were asked to eat a certain amount of grapes every day for two weeks.  Scientists examined their skin before and after the experiment to see how it reacted to UV rays.

The researchers discovered clear changes in the activity of skin related genes after grape consumption.

The study showed that grapes helped activate natural processes in the skin that protect it from damage caused by sunlight.

Researchers also tested how small amounts of UV radiation affected the skin and found that people who ate grapes had lower levels of oxidative stress which is linked to cell damage and aging.

According to the scientists grapes may work like a “superfood” by providing strong protection for human skin. They explained that the study focused on the skin the body’s largest organ and found that grapes could improve overall skin health.

The researchers also said that grapes may have positive effects on genes in other parts of the body including the liver muscles kidneys and brain.
