The medicinal value of grapevines, grapes and the juices of ripe grapes<\/strong> have been recognised and used since ancient times to treat various conditions, such as liver disease, cholera and constipation. For example, in ancient Greece, a drink of honey plus unfermented grape juice (oenomel) was created to treat gout and other nervous disorders. Today, grape juice is one of the components of resveratrol supplements.<\/strong> Even commercial cosmetic brands use grape juice concentrate as a key ingredient in products such as anti-ageing creams and firming serums<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To get to know all these benefits, we share in this post the most important healthy facts about white and red grape juice<\/a><\/strong> and explain how it benefits the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grape juice is a non-fermented, non-alcoholic drink with a characteristic colour, aroma and flavour, depending on the grape variety from which it is made. It has been widely studied for years, due to its positive effects on the human organism. The nutritional profile of grape juice contains vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and biologically active substances<\/strong> that have the ability to influence natural processes in the body and offer health benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the nutrients and beneficial compounds in grape juic<\/a>e<\/a><\/strong> help, in one way or another, to promote health. Of course, its intake should be moderate, without excess. Grape juice can control hypertension, help with digestive problems, delay ageing<\/strong>, prevent the appearance of cancer cells, etc. Each of these benefits are described below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of the healthful facts about grape juice reveal its cardioprotective capacity:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the main causes of diabetes mellitus is oxidative stress<\/strong>, a process generated by an excess of free radicals (molecules produced daily by the body) and a lack of antioxidants to counteract this process. Faced with this situation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to clarify that these health facts are from grape juices with no added sugars<\/strong>. The addition of sugar may reduce the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both whole grapes and grape juice have a cancer-preventive effect<\/strong>. Although extensive clinical studies have yet<\/strong> to be conducted, the phytochemicals present in grape juice help to prevent cancer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to publications by the US National Institutes of Health NIH,<\/strong> one of the world’s leading scientific research centres<\/strong>, phenolic compounds in grape juice significantly inhibited carcinogen-induced DNA modifications in rat models. They also inhibited DNA synthesis in breast cancer cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The polyphenols in grape juice are important bioactive compounds that help balance the gut microbiota<\/strong>. They act as probiotics that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grape juice has important anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle and anti-bacterial properties<\/strong>. Grape juice is a source of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), resveratrol, flavonoids and malic acid, which gives it important anti-ageing, anti-wrinkle and anti-bacterial properties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Grape juice supplementation may improve memory in older adults with mild cognitive impairment<\/strong>. Grape juice contains polyphenols with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that reduce inflammation and blood pressure. In addition, flavonoids specifically are associated with a reduced risk of dementia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More comprehensive research needs to be established to assess the full potential of this benefit. But controlled trials, published by the National Institutes of Health NIH<\/strong>, indicate that 12 weeks of grape juice supplementation significantly improved verbal learning and, to a lesser extent, improved verbal and spatial recall in older adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The resveratrol in grapes and grape juice has the ability to inhibit the production of viral proteins, enabling it to prevent the reproduction of influenza (flu) viruses<\/strong>. Its significant antiviral or inhibitory effect extends to a number of human pathogenic viruses, such as HSV, Epstein-Barr virus and poliovirus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Red wine, always consumed in moderation, is considered heart-healthy because of the alcohol and antioxidants it contains, mainly resveratrol. But both wine and grape juice come from the same source, so they share multiple health-promoting bioactive compounds, the amount of which differs slightly. Among these shared compounds is resveratrol. So it is possible to get some of the same heart benefits from grape juice as from red wine.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Grape juice concentrate made from grapes grown under an organic farming system<\/strong>, without pesticides and chemical fertilisers, contains higher amounts of phenolic compounds, such as resveratrol and anthocyanins, compared to grape juices from conventional farming practice. Therefore, organic white and red grape juices can be used as reliable sources of nutrients and antioxidants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n At Juli\u00e1n Soler<\/strong> we produce and export 100% authentic and organic red and white grape juice concentrate<\/strong>.
