As people age, they are more likely to experience glaucoma, yellow spot degeneration, etc. This is due to oxidative stress and high levels of glycation end products. The antioxidant properties of grapes reduce oxidative stress and prevent the formation of glycation products. Due to this, retinal health is improved.
An experiment was conducted with the participation of 34 people. They were divided into 2 categories. The 1st daily ate 46 grams of table grape powder, and the 2nd – the same amount of placebo. They were monitored for 16 weeks.
People who ate grapes had a significant increase in the antioxidant capacity of blood plasma. They also increased the density of macula pigment, which made their vision sharper.
According to scientists, to strengthen the retina and reduce the likelihood of eye disease, you need to eat about 1.5 cups of grapes every day.
