May help lower blood pressure.

One cup (151 grams) of grapes contains 6% of the DV for potassium. This mineral is necessary for maintaining healthy blood pressure levels UFABET 

Evidence shows that potassium helps lower blood pressure primarily by helping dilate your arteries and veins. It may also help excrete sodium and prevent the narrowing of arteries and veins that would otherwise increase blood pressure .

However, a review of 32 studies determined that potassium intakes that are both too low and too high may lead to high blood pressure. Researchers advised sticking to the current daily intake recommendation of 4.7 grams.

May help reduce cholesterol.

Compounds may help protect against high cholesterol levels by decreasing cholesterol absorption.

In an 8-week study in 69 people with high cholesterol, eating 3 cups (500 grams) of red grapes per day helped lower total and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels. However, white grapes didn’t have the same effect.

Additionally, diets high in resveratrol — an antioxidant in grapes. Such as the Mediterranean diet have been shown to decrease cholesterol levels
