Scientists have discovered new health benefits of grapes: how much to eat per day

A new study has found that consuming grapes for 16 weeks improves eye health. This is supported by prior research indicating the benefits of grapes in protecting the structure of the retina.

The study found that grapes, which are rich in antioxidants, help improve macular pigment optical density (MPOD) and reduce harmful glycations (AGEs), contributing to improved eye health. SCITECHDAILY reports that.

Older adults have a higher risk of eye disease and vision problems. Key risk factors for eye disease include oxidative stress and high levels of glycation end products (AGEs) in the eyes.

Dietary antioxidants can reduce oxidative stress and inhibit the formation of AGEs. Grapes are a natural source of antioxidants and other polyphenols.

In this new study, 34 people consumed either 1½ cups of grapes per day or a placebo for 16 weeks. Those who ate grapes showed significant increases in MPOD, plasma antioxidant capacity and total phenolics.
