Natural Raisins – 250gms

Natural raisins, which are simply dried grapes, are concentrated sources of nutrients and offer several notable health benefits:

• Excellent Source of Fiber: Raisins are rich in dietary fiber (both soluble and insoluble), which promotes healthy digestion, helps regulate bowel movements, and can prevent constipation. This fiber also contributes to a feeling of fullness, aiding in appetite control.
• Rich in Antioxidants (Polyphenols): The drying process concentrates the antioxidants, particularly polyphenols, which help fight cell damage caused by free radicals. These compounds are linked to a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including heart disease and certain cancers.
• Heart Health Support: They are a good source of Potassium, which helps regulate blood pressure by balancing the effects of sodium. The fiber in raisins may also help lower “bad” (LDL) cholesterol levels.
• Good for Bone Health: Raisins contain essential minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, and Boron. Boron is a trace mineral that works with Calcium and Vitamin D to support bone strength and may play a role in preventing osteoporosis.
• Boosts Iron Levels: Raisins contain iron, which is vital for the production of red blood cells and carrying oxygen throughout the body, helping to prevent or combat iron-deficiency anemia and associated fatigue.
• Natural Energy Provider: The natural sugars (fructose and glucose) in raisins make them a great source of quick, sustained energy, making them an excellent snack for athletes or for a quick boost.
• Promotes Oral Health: Surprisingly, raisins contain phytochemicals (like oleanolic acid) that possess antimicrobial properties, which can suppress the growth of certain oral bacteria linked to cavities and gum disease.
