The berry, which is rich in antioxidants, can improve vision in the elderly.
According to a study published in the journal Nutrition and Function, pensioners who ate one and a half cups of grapes a day for four months improved their eye health, informs UAINFO.org with reference to NV.ua.
"Our study shows for the first time that consumption of grapes has beneficial effects on eye health in humans," said study author Dr. Jung Yoon Kim.
Science has shown that older people have a higher risk of eye disease and vision problems. Researchers say one key factor in eye disease is harmful compounds that form when protein or fat combine with sugar in the blood.
The study examined the effect of regular fruit consumption on the accumulation of macular pigment along with other biomarkers.
