Brief Introduction

Quercetin is a plant pigment (flavonoid). It is found in many plants and foods, such as red wine, onions, green tea, apples, berries, Ginkgo biloba, St. John’s wort, American elder, and others. Buckwheat tea has a large amount of quercetin. People use quercetin as a medicine.

Quercetin is used for treating conditions of the heart and blood vessels including “hardening of the arteries” (atherosclerosis), high cholesterol, heart disease, and circulation problems. It is also used for diabetes, cataracts, hay fever, peptic ulcer, schizophrenia, inflammation, asthma, gout, viral infections, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), preventing cancer, and for treating chronic infections of the prostate. Quercetin is also used to increase endurance and improve athletic performance.

Main Function

1.Quercetin may expel phlegm and arrest coughing, it can also be used as anti-asthmatic.

2. Quercetin has anticancer activity, inhibits PI3-kinase activity and slightly inhibits PIP Kinase activity, reduces cancer cell growth via type II estrogen receptors.

3.Quercetin may inhibit histamine release from basophils and mast cells.

4. Quercetin may control the spread of certain viruses within the body.

5, Quercetin may help reduce tissue destruction.

6.Quercetin may also be beneficial in the treatment of dysentery, gout, and psoriasis

Grapes are, no doubt, one of nature’s most impressive fruits and not only because they can be turned into wine. Here are 10 other cool things about them.

Grapes are, no doubt, one of nature’s most impressive fruits and not only because they can be turned into wine.
Here are 10 other cool things about them.

Number 10. There are 8 thousand varieties of grapes. How some of them became better known than others is mostly a matter of growing in a high profile place, like a wine region, for example.

Number 9. Japan has some that sell for 4 thousand dollars a bunch. They’re called ‘Ruby Roman’ and what sets them apart is that each grape measures at least 1 and a quarter inches in diameter. Their sugar content is also required to be over 18 percent.

Number 8. They’re good for sperm health. Extracts from grape seeds and skins have been found to improve both production and mobility.

Number 7. They’re bad for dog health. Too many grapes can lead to kidney failure, and in raisin form as little as a serving can be deadly. Giving just one here and there, isn’t the answer either, as the toxins build up over time.

Number 6. Grapes are helpful in regulating blood sugar. Recent studies have linked the consumption of both grape juice and extracts with better insulin sensitivity and regulation as well as helping maintain a good blood sugar balance.

Number 5. To become a raisin, grapes have to shed a lot of water weight. When they start off, their water content is around 80 percent. Their post-transformation percentage is closer to 15.

Number 4. Bunches can grow to weigh over 20 pounds. It rarely happens. In fact, it’s only been recorded as occurring once. According to Guinness World Records, that amazing feat was achieved in 1984 by a bunch of grapes hailing from Santiago, Chile.

Number 3. They’ve been used as medicine. Throughout history, one part or another of the fruit, leaves, and vines have been instrumental in treating sore throats, constipation, hemorrhoids, and eye infections. Even medics looking to cure serious stuff like cancer and smallpox have tried grape-based remedies.

Number 2. Each bottle of wine contains about 2 and a half pounds of grapes. That works out to around 16 thousand glasses per acre.

Number 1. They produce their own protection. The outer surface of the skin is covered with a waxy substance, which is the fruit’s natural way of warding off pests, radiation, bacteria, and fungi.

Red Wine Contains Powerful Plant Compounds and Antioxidants, Including Resveratrol

Grapes are rich in many antioxidants. These includeresveratrol, catechin, epicatechin andproanthocyanidins (5).
These antioxidants, especially resveratrol and proanthocyanidins, are believed to be responsible for the health benefits of red wine.
Proanthocyanidins may reduce oxidative damage in the body. They may also help prevent heart disease and cancer (6, 7, 8).
Resveratrol is found in grape skin. It is produced in some plants, as a response to damage or injury (9).
This antioxidant has been linked with many health benefits, including fighting inflammation and blood clotting, as well as reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer. Resveratrol can also make test animals live longer (10, 11, 12).
However, the resveratrol content of red wine is rather low. You would have to consume several bottles per day to reach the amount used in the animal studies. This is not recommended, for obvious reasons (13, 14).
If you’re drinking wine just for the resveratrol content, then getting it from a supplement may be a better idea.

Bottom Line: The powerful plant compounds in red wine have been linked with many health benefits, including reduced inflammation, lower risk of heart disease and cancer, and extended lifespan.
