Grape Juice


I know many of us have memory problems.

I recently read an article that said drinking a glass of concord grape juice a day helps with your memory. I'm going to give it a try and see what happens. Anyone else want to try it with me and we can see how it goes with all of us?

Actually....


There are some people who say that grape juice is good for seizures (number 3 in the link). I personally would make sure that there is no sugar in it as that can be a trigger for some people.

Quote :
Beneficial fruits include figs, apples and especially grapes. Drinking 500 ml of fresh grape juice daily may decrease the frequency of seizures.

I am thinkin' it is the antioxidants? Plus, I do not think it has the fructose corn syrup in the Welch's brand. I do buy it on occasion, it cost a little more than other brands, but worth it.

I think it's the same thing that is in red grapes/red wine -- the "resveratrol" -- which is supposed to be beneficial. Below is a link to a study of it's anti-seizure properties:
