Li Ying loves to eat grapes to lose weight. Anthocyanin promotes metabolism

In addition to their sweet and sour taste, grapes can also help remove oil and greasiness. If eaten in moderation, they can also promote metabolism and prevent weight gain. Even Korean actress Lee Young-ae, known as the "oxygen beauty", has publicly stated that she only ate grapes for dinner after giving birth and lost 1.5 kilograms in a week. Nutritionists point out that the benefits of grapes are not limited to these. Eating them with the skin can increase dietary fiber and enhance satiety.

Nutritionist Cheng Hanyu said that grapes are rich in potassium. Every 100 grams of grapes contains about 0.7 grams of dietary fiber, 186 milligrams of potassium, and less than 0.2 milligrams of sodium. Moderate consumption can help the body excrete excess sodium and achieve a sodium-potassium balance, which is beneficial for eliminating the annoying problem of edema.

Eating grapes boosts metabolism! Anthocyanin resveratrol plays an important role

In addition to the high potassium, diuretic and anti-edema properties of grapes, nutritionist Cheng Hanyu said that the non-flavonoid phenolic substance in grapes - resveratrol, also has the effect of increasing the metabolic rate. In addition, an animal experiment study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry in 2008 also confirmed that anthocyanins have the benefits of preventing metabolic syndrome and weight gain.

Most importantly, moderate supplementation of anthocyanins also has the advantage of consolidating collagen and skin elastic fibers, so that the skin's firmness can be maintained during the weight loss process, and the skin will not become loose or develop stretch marks due to weight loss.

Sweet and sour grapes are a favorite of many women. In addition to the sweet and sour taste that can remove oil and greasiness, moderate consumption can also promote metabolism and prevent weight gain!

Eating grapes without spitting out the skins is richer in anthocyanins

However, nutritionist Cheng Hanyu also emphasized that the anthocyanins in grapes mainly come from grape skins and grape seeds. Therefore, if you want to fully obtain the nutrients in grapes, it is recommended that you eat grapes with the skin. This will not only increase the intake of the antioxidant anthocyanin, but also allow you to consume more dietary fiber, thereby increasing your sense of fullness.

[Nutritionist's Tips]:

Nutritionist Cheng Hanyu reminds that since grapes have a high sugar content, in order to avoid a rapid rise in blood sugar in diabetic patients, it is recommended to control the portion when eating, and eat them together with the skin and seeds to increase the intake of dietary fiber. In addition, grapes are rich in potassium ions, so patients with chronic kidney disease and renal insufficiency should consume them in moderation.
