Grapes - Lungs
Our lungs are made up of branches of ever-smaller airways that finish up with tiny bunches of tissue called alveoli which allow oxygen to pass from the lungs to the blood stream. Additional info, one reason that very premature babies struggle to survive is that these alveoli do not begin to form until week 23 or 24 of pregnancy. Back to our topic, did you notice these structures resemble to bunch of grapes? A diet high in fresh fruit, such as grapes, has been shown to reduce the risk of lung cancer. Grape seeds also contain a chemical called proanthocyanidin, which appears to reduce the severity of asthma triggered by allergy. Grapes also increase the moisture content in the lungs and can also reduce asthma problems.
