Although you probably buy seedless grapes to eat, the seeds are actually extremely sought after in the beauty and health world. Why? Grape seed extract contains powerful health benefits. The seeds inside grapes used to be considered the worthless by-product of wine production. In the past, they were thrown out as waste. Come to find out, the seeds are extremely valuable. Instead of getting rid of them, grape seeds are in demand to create the extract. Because, let’s face it, eating fruit seeds is not enjoyable and it’s difficult for the body to digest.

This fruit has been useful to humans even as early as the Neolithic period. Grapes were cultivated for its nutritional and medicinal properties. The Ancient Greeks cultivated the fruit to make wine, which they hailed for its healing qualities. European folk healers extracted the sap from grapevines and used them to treat skin and eye infections. They used the leaves of the vine to treat hemorrhoids, pain, and inflammations. European folk healers also used the unripe grapes to cure soreness of their throats and treated constipation and excessive thirst with dried grapes (raisins) and water.

Proanthocyanidins and catechins are the potent antioxidants in grape seeds that are believed to be 20 times greater than vitamin E and 50 times greater than vitamin C. These polyphenols are believed to aid in improving Vitamin C activity, be effective in reducing the risk of clogged arteries, control blood pressure, reducing edema, boost wound healing and improves the skins elasticity.

The seeds also contains a compound called resveratrol. Resveratrol is praised for its anti-inflammatory properties, which makes Grape Seed Extract a great help in reducing swelling caused by dermatitis, infections, cuts, and excessive exposure to the sun’s rays. Resveratrol also promotes a healthy inflammatory response in your body, including helping to alleviate some of the oxidative stress and inflammation that can lead to premature aging.

According to a study, including grape seed extract in your diet with calcium has a beneficial effect on bone formation and bone strength for the treatment of bone debility. A different study found that grape seeds have properties that can reduce the severity of skin cancer.

In recent Science News, resveratrol a natural compound found in red wine and grapes can help address a hormone imbalance in women with PCOS, a leading cause of infertility in women, according to a new published study.

In addition, grape seed extract is found to contain powerful nutrients that prevent tooth decay. The recent study found that a combination of grape seed extracts and plant-based oligomeric proanthocyanidins prompted damaged collagen to repair itself.

When buying grape seed extract supplements, read the label carefully and make sure it contains 80 percent proanthocyanidins.
This level guarantees the supplement will stimulate body activities that will result in antioxidant behavior. Unfortunately, grape seed oil does not contain the beneficial proanthocyanidins found in grape seed extract.

Take grape seed extract supplement with Vitamin C and Vitamin E to improve its absorption. Also, Vitamin E’s healthy and beauty benefits boost when taken with antioxidants. The recommended daily dose of Grape Seed Extract for adults is 150 to 300mg per day.

It is important to talk to your doctor before taking grape seed extract as it can affect the way that certain medications are broken down in the liver.

There are so many problems with diet plans today, and the biggest reason they don’t work is because they are hyper-focused on Weight LOSS. It’s easier than you think to lose weight. I mean anytime you deplete your body of a necessity, it will get lighter. Taking out Carbs, or Fats, or calories, will always promote weight loss. But losing weight in such a way is only temporary and not sustainable. Your body is depleted for goodness sakes, and sooner or later, it’s going to want more nutrients. And, what the body wants, the body will climb mountains to get.

How to Make Pumpkin Tea Masala Milk | Diana Stobo

Hey and welcome to the daily juice, I am going to make a pumpkin tea masala milk today. I came up with this idea because when I was in India they would serve the hot chai on the beach and so I went and bought some of their chai masala back and have been blending it into different ingredients. I have been soaking these pumpkin seeds in water for about three hours. I rinsed and drained them, we are going to put it in the vitamix and add our water. This could be our basic pumpkin milk for there but we are going to add, chai masala tea, any of your favorites will do and some agave nectar to sweeten it. Then we are going to blend that up until it becomes a milk.

Ok so everything is blended and creamy. I’m going to add a little special ingredient, this is melted coconut oil and some lithesome powder. The reason I am doing this is because after this I am going to put this in the refrigerator and allow it to thicken and the coconut oil will make this milk a little creamery. Lithisome just binds all the ingredients together. Ok! Creamy milk here, so now find yourself a wide-mouthed pitcher and a nut milk bag. Lets see if this fits. Nope. So I’m going to have to hold it, lets pour our milk into it. So what we are going to do is gently squeeze the milk out of the bag leaving the chai masala inside along with any of the pumpkin seed which will make a nice smooth and creamy milk. Ok, all of the liquid is out of the bag, there we go, I’m going to put it in some jars for now to store in the refrigerator.
