Scientists from Western New England University in America have discovered that eating grapes changes the gut microbiome and improves health, as reported by Russia Today.

Scientific Reports magazine indicates that university scientists focused in this study on the effect of grapes on the gut microbiome, as it is known that the intestine contains billions of microorganisms that affect public health.

This study lasted eight weeks, in which 29 volunteers of both sexes (men 29-53 years old) and women (24-55 years old) participated, and they were asked to reduce their diet for two weeks, following which they ate grapes three times a day for two weeks as well. So exclude it from the diet.

The results showed that the amount of bacteria in the intestine, the level of enzymes and biological pathways following eating grapes changed positively, which affected the condition of the heart, colon, brain and general health indicators. For example, on the 30th day of the experiment (following eating grapes), the level of Streptococcus thermophiles—a probiotic that produces lactic acid—in the intestines was high, while the number of Holdemania bacteria decreased, as happens in those who follow a vegetarian diet. When comparing the 30-day period with the 60-day period, a continuous increase in the number of organisms associated with the production of metabolites was observed.
