A recent medical study revealed that eating grapes protects human skin from UV rays damage.
According to the Times of India website, researchers at the University of Alabama Birmingham have shown that eating whole grape powder, equivalent to 2.25 cups of grapes daily for 14 consecutive days, protects against light damage that the skin may suffer from as a result of exposure to ultraviolet rays, as the grapes act as a sunscreen, which provides a layer Additional protection.
The researchers tested the subjects' skin response to UV rays before and after eating grapes for two weeks by determining the minimum dose of UV rays that caused visible redness 24 hours later.
The researchers said that the analysis of skin biopsies showed that the grape diet was associated with reduced DNA damage, less skin cell death, and decreased inflammatory markers on the skin as a result of exposure to these rays, which more exposure to it may sometimes lead to skin cancer.
It is estimated that one in five Americans will develop skin cancer at the age of 70, and most cases of skin cancer are associated with exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. In addition, an estimated 90 percent of skin aging is caused by too much exposure to the sun.
