Result of a pilot study conducted by the University of California Los Angeles, US says that eating grapes daily can help protect the brain against early decline associated with Alzheimer`s disease. The study results, published in Experimental Gerontology, showed a grape-enriched diet protected against the decline of metabolic activity.
 
Speaking about the study, the researchers said, The study examines the impact of grapes as a whole fruit versus isolated compounds and the results suggest that regular intake of grapes may provide a protective effect against early decline associated with Alzheimer`s disease. This pilot study contributes to the growing evidence that supports a beneficial role for grapes in neurologic and cardiovascular health; however more clinical studies with larger groups of subjects are needed to confirm the effects observed here.
