Grape juice not only pleases with its rich taste, but also brings many health benefits. The publication Health Digest emphasizes that this drink is rich in useful substances that support the general state of health and contribute to the prevention of heart diseases.
"Grape juice contains health-promoting compounds like resveratrol and flavonoids," said Dr. Chris Mohr, registered dietitian and physiologist. “These antioxidants are very beneficial for heart health. They improve the functioning of blood vessels, reduce inflammation and prevent LDL cholesterol ("bad" cholesterol, - ed.) from oxidizing.
How much grape juice can you drink per day
"Balance is key," says Mohr, noting that despite the benefits of grape juice, it's easy to overdo it. "A good idea is to consume four to eight ounces per day. With this amount of calories, the sugar level remains moderate, which helps control weight and blood sugar levels."
Although we are talking specifically about red or purple grape juice, it would be remiss not to mention white grape juice. According to a study published in 2019 in the journal Nutrition, white grape juice reduced body mass index and waist circumference in women, and also increased the level of "good" cholesterol by 16%. But, again, you shouldn't overdo it with white grape juice, so don't exceed 4-8 ounces per day, which is about 115-230 grams.
