Grape juice is a drink that is consumed for its nutritional features, since it provides energy and valuable nutrients, especially red grape juice which contains a number of vitamins (vitamin C is the most important) and minerals such as flavonoids (quercetin, myricetin or anthocyanins) beneficial to health.
Its detoxifying and cleansing properties have been known for several centuries.
Grapes contain acids such as citric, tartaric and malic; vitamins such as B1, B2 and PP; iron and potassium.
These acids benefit the digestive system, the joints, the circulatory and nervous systems:
-
The acids in grape juice neutralize stomach acids, helping to prevent heartburn, thus being very beneficial in cases of gastritis.
-
People suffering from Rheumatism, Arthritis and Gout will benefit from drinking grape juice because it helps to control and eliminate uric acid crystals accumulated in joints.
-
Due to its alkalizing effects, grape juice cleanses the blood, detoxifying the organism.
-
Grape juice is rich in sugars and carbohydrates so it is recommended to athletes and all those who need to recover energy.
According to a study by the University of Glasgow in the UK, drinking a glass of red grape juice a day would protect the body from chronic diseases. These scientists have studied the properties of fruit juices and found that red grape juice has the highest and broadest concentration of polyphenols and antioxidants. It is believed that these are beneficial in preventing diseases like cancer and coronary heart disease.
