Grapes helps to reduce the risk of Lung cancer
GRAPES LUNGS
OUR lungs are made up of branches of ever-smaller airways that finish up with tiny bunches
of tissue called alveoli. These structures, which resemble bunches of grapes, allow oxygen
to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. One reason that very premature babies struggle
to survive is that these alveoli do not begin to form until week 23 or 24 of pregnancy.
A diet high in fresh fruit, such as grapes, has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer
and emphysema.
Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which appears to reduce
the severity of asthma triggered by allergy.
