Benefits of grapes and other fruits in blue and purple in preventing dementia have been studied scientifically. Recent research reveals how it works, ie by binding toxic metals in the brain.
Toxins are compounds that form hydroxyl radicals from the iron that is not tied to perfection. In the brain, accumulation of these compounds cause cell damage and the emergence of one disease memepercepat degenerative dementia.
To neutralize the toxic effects caused, requires iron-binding compounds called chelator. These compounds will bind and detoxify iron so that they no longer harm brain cells.
One source of chelator easily found in everyday foods are fruits and vegetables, especially the blue or purple. Green tea, grapes and blueberries are examples of foods with high content of chelator.
A professor from the University of Manchester, Douglas Kell revealed that in a recent study. His discovery was published in the journal Archives of Toxicology, which was published recently.
Quoted from the Telegraph, on Thursday (9/12/2010), toxic metals are not perfect it must not only accelerate the risk of dementia. According to Prof Kell, these toxins also trigger a variety of other generative diseases that can affect every part of the body.
Previously thought, the benefits of grapes in preventing dementia is the effect of antioxidant content in it. This allegation also denied by Prof Kell, because antioxidants will not use a lot for toxic metals in a limited form perfect.
