Grapes are outstanding when it comes to keeping your heart healthy. Antioxidants are beneficial to the heart in several ways including lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, and the risk of heart disease. Studies have shown that both quercetin and resveratrol lower cholesterol and plaque buildup in animal arteries. Grapes also contain fiber and potassium, which support a healthy heart. Potassium has several heart health benefits, including reduced risk of stroke. With these components working together, grapes have your heart pretty well covered.
