Beneficial Food For Diabetics

A new study investigates whether an antioxidant commonly found in some wine and fruits has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular health of patients with diabetes. Resveratrol is a natural compound that can be found in grapes, grape juice, red wine, and some types of berries – including blueberries and cranberries – as well as in peanuts and cocoa.The compound is a polyphenol – that is, a class of plant-based chemical substances with antioxidant properties. Some studies have suggested that polyphenols may have a protective role against heart disease by improving vascular function and regulating inflammation.
