 It’s not grapes have ever lacked purpose. Just about every form they take – fresh, squeezed, squished and fermented, or dried on the vine – offers delectation. Over the past decade, the grape, especially in its red or black variety, has become more than food or libation, more than a source of nutrition and pleasure. It is the founding member of a pantheon of edibles that have remarkable effects on the way we and our bodies function.

Dieter’s Dream

It’s time to rethink your list of diet foods. Perhaps the top spot should go to red grapes and wine. The resveratrol they contain reduces the number of fat cells in the body and may one day be used to prevent or threat obesity.

Drink one glass of red wine and relax. But drink two, and you tense up. having a drink lowers blood pressure and stimulates the relaxation response, independent of the effects of resveratrol and other phenols in red grapes. But helping yourself to a second glass erases the effects, driving blood pressure and stress above when they were in the first place.
