Grapes are not only delicious fruits, but also have high medicinal value. The medicinal value of grapes has been discussed in ancient medical books in China. According to Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, grapes are "mainly used for treating arthralgia due to dampness in bones and muscles, benefiting qi and strengthening brain, making people fat and healthy, resisting hunger and cold, and keeping fit for a long time". Grape also has a good dietotherapy effect, such as nourishing liver and kidney, benefiting qi and blood, promoting fluid production and strengthening spleen, and has an auxiliary treatment effect on dizziness, palpitation, anemia and other diseases.
The nutritional value of grapes is also very high, even called "plant milk". Grape has a high sugar content, and its sugar is mostly glucose that is easily absorbed by the human body. People with weak digestive function can eat more grapes, promote digestion and enhance spleen and stomach function. Grape juice also has antiviral effect. For patients with weakness, arteriosclerosis or nephritis, drinking some grape juice can promote the recovery of the disease. Grapes are also anti-cancer stars. Where grapes are abundant, the probability of people suffering from cancer is obviously low. Grape is a kind of fruit suitable for all ages, and it has a certain nourishing effect if eaten often.
For women, grapes are a good partner for nourishing and strengthening the body. Eating more grapes can strengthen the heart and nourish blood, invigorate qi and nourish the liver. Women with insufficient qi and blood can eat some grapes, which can make their faces rosy and their spirits hundred times. Grapes can not only be eaten fresh or dry, but also can be squeezed to drink or brewed into wine. Women often drink some wine, which can not only promote blood circulation, stimulate appetite, but also prevent heart disease.
Many people only eat the pulp of grapes and spit out the skins and seeds. In fact, grape skins and grape seeds are both good medicines. Grape skin contains anticancer and antihypertensive substances, which can prevent arteriosclerosis. It can be seen that it is a good idea to eat grapes without spitting their skins for health and longevity. Grape seed is rich in antioxidants and is a real antioxidant. Grape seed is used in many high-grade cosmetics because of its excellent antioxidant effect, so chewing grapes is good for beauty.
It should be noted that although grapes have a good health-preserving and nourishing effect, people with cold, spleen-stomach disharmony and diarrhea due to deficiency-cold should avoid eating. Grapes are rich in sugar and are not suitable for diabetics.
