#12 HEALTHIEST FRUITS - GRAPES

 Today's post is about number 12 on the list of healthiest fruits and it is a favorite of many. Grapes are some of the most popular fruits of all ages. No more words are necessary from me so let's get to what the health journal has to say.

"Grapes are high in polyphenol compounds such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and resveratrol, all of which can help increase heart health and defend against cardiovascular disease. (It's thought that resveratrol may even help prevent skin aging and protect against age-related health conditions.) Grapes are full of nutrients vital to health, such as copper, vitamin K, and B vitamins."

EAT APPLES TO HELP PREVENT CANCER?

Something as simple as eating an apple a day may help to prevent cancer. Apples contain at least two kinds of cancer-inhibiting compounds, flavonoids and phenolic acids. Together these two compounds may protect against damage to cells that can trigger malignancies. They may also prevent emerging cancer cells from further dividing. What a tasty way to perhaps protect yourself from cancer. I think it is worth eating an apple a day!
