INDIANA—A recent study conducted at Purdue University and featured in The Journal of Nutrition found that consuming grapes could increase your bone strength and health.
The study analyzed a group of mice, it is noted that mice have very similar bodily functions compared to humans. The mice were split up into two groups; one group was fed grapes for an 8-week period, while the other group did not receive any grapes.
The team found that the group who consumed grapes on a daily basis had nearly 45 percent more net calcium retention than those who did not consume grapes. Increased calcium retention goes hand in hand with thicker and stronger bones.
According to the researchers, grapes not only help with bone health, but they also are great for your heart and previous studies have shown them to help prevent cancer and other diseases.
If you are interested in strengthening your bones, or receiving some of these health benefits, you might want to consider adding grapes to your daily diet.
Have a great day
