葡萄的健康益处

Grapes are rich in nutrients

葡萄的营养丰富

Once cup of grapes provides about a quarter of your daily vitamin C needs, nearly 20% for vitamin K, and at least 10% for copper. In addition to supporting immunity, vitamin C is needed for DNA repair, and the production of both collagen and serotonin. (The latter promotes happiness and sleep.)

一杯葡萄可提供日常所需维生素C的四分之一，近20%的维生素K和至少10%的铜元素。除了提高免疫力外，维生素C也是DNA修复过程中不可缺少的，且对于胶原蛋白和血清素的生成也至关重要。（后者能提升幸福感、促进睡眠。）

Vitamin C also helps significantly boost the absorption of iron from plant foods; a higher blood level of vitamin C is tied to increased fat burning, both during exercise and at rest. Vitamin K is required for bone formation, and a shortfall is linked to increased fracture risk.

维生素C还有助于促进对来源于植物基食物的铁元素的吸收；运动和休息时，血液中的维生素C较高与脂肪燃烧加剧有关。骨骼形成需要维生素K，而缺乏维生素K与骨折风险增加有关。

Copper plays a role in energy production, plus the formation of collagen and red blood cells. Grapes also provide smaller amounts of several key nutrients, including B vitamins, potassium, and manganese.

铜元素在能量生成以及胶原蛋白和红血球的形成中起到一定作用。葡萄还可以提供几种少量的关键营养素，包括B族维生素、钾元素和锰元素。

Grapes support immunity

葡萄可提高免疫力

In addition to the aforementioned vitamins C and A, which are both vital for immunity, grapes support the immune system through their natural anti-microbial properties. A one cup portion also supplies about two and a half ounces of water, which is important for hydration, circulation and healthy blood flow, and waste elimination.

除了上文所说的维生素C和维生素A之外（两者对于免疫力都至关重要），葡萄还可以通过其天然的抗微生物特性提高免疫力。一杯葡萄也可以提供约两盎司半的水，这对于水合作用、血液循环、健康的血液流动以及排废非常重要。

Grapes provide anti-aging antioxidants

葡萄提供抗衰老的抗氧化剂

Grapes contain several different antioxidants, including types known to decrease inflammation and support healthy blood flow. Grape antioxidants are also linked to better brain function (including memory), anti-aging, and overall longevity. The quercetin in black and red grapes has been shown to protect against neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's.

葡萄含有几种不同的抗氧化剂，包括已知的可以减少炎症和支持健康血液流动的抗氧化剂。葡萄中的抗氧化剂也与大脑更好的运作（包括记忆力）、抗衰老以及寿命有关。研究已表明，黑葡萄和红葡萄中的槲皮素可以预防神经退行性疾病，例如阿尔茨海默症。

Grapes may help you get a good night's sleep

葡萄或能让你一夜好眠

The natural melatonin in grapes is linked to longer and better quality sleep. That's key, since insomnia affects a third of the population, and sleep deprivation is tied to a number of health risks—including depression, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and obesity.

葡萄中的天然褪黑素或能让你睡的更香、更久。这非常重要，因为全世界已有三分之一的人口饱受失眠的困扰，而且睡眠不足与许多健康风险相关，包括抑郁症、2型糖尿病、心脏病和肥胖。

Grapes improve heart health

葡萄可改善心脏健康

Grapes are heart-healthy in a number of ways. They have been shown to fend off artery hardening, reduce blood pressure, improve circulation, curb blood clotting, and lower inflammation. Research indicates that grapes also help reduce cholesterol by decreasing the absorption of the compound into the blood.

葡萄在许多方面都有益于心脏健康。葡萄已被证明可预防动脉硬化、降低血压、促进血液循环、抑制血液凝结和减少炎症。研究表明，葡萄还可以通过减少化合物在血液中的吸收来帮助降低胆固醇。
