Grape juice and apples prevents atherosclerosis

Grapes, apples and juice of this fruit can prevent atherosclerosis, say French scientists. Dr. Kelly Decorde and colleagues from the University of Montpellier (France) argue that the juices of fruits stronger protection against atherosclerosis as it is fresh fruit. This discovery was accepted for the first time since that fresh fruit provide the richest source of vitamins and the greatest health benefits. Scientists conducted an experiment in which a group of hamsters fed later grape, apple, grape and apple juice, high-calorie diet, which leads to the formation of fatty plaques in the arteries and heart attacks. A control group of hamsters eat a normal diet, without too much fat, and drinking water. Number of fruit was consumed by hamster equivalent of three apples or three grapes daily for a person. A hamster juice drank the equivalent of $ 4 for a man glasses. The study found that grapes and apples have the same phenol, while the juice of black grapes contain 2.5 times more phenols than apple juice. As a result, the group of animals that drank juice and ate fruit, cholesterol levels were lower. Black grape juice was the most powerful antioxidant. These results suggest that the food must contain the required number of phenols, as these antioxidants and protect the body against heart disease. And fruits that contain vitamin C and carotenoids, have an overall positive impact on human health, scientists say.
