Researchers Find Surprising Link Between Grapes and Sun Protection
Researchers have discovered that consuming three servings of grapes daily for two weeks can enhance skin's resistance to UV damage. The study showed that grape consumption led to genetic changes in skin cells, promoting protective processes. This research suggests that grapes may have broader health benefits beyond skin protection.
- ▪Eating three servings of grapes daily for two weeks alters gene expression in human skin cells.
- ▪The study found that grape consumption enhances skin keratinization and reduces oxidative stress markers from UV damage.
- ▪Researchers believe that grape consumption may influence gene expression in other tissues of the body.
