Instructions
Grapes make both delicious snacks and wines. They are nutrition powerhouses, containing vitamins, minerals and many important nutrients, one of which is the antioxidant resveratrol, which has anti-inflammatory properties.
According to a recent study done by the University of Texas Health Science Center and published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, resveratrol can help manage weight. The antioxidant helps stimulate a hormone called adiponectin, which fights insulin resistance. As a result, it helps us avoid gaining pounds.
