A simple bite of something can take you back several years. This is a list of all the fruits, vegetables & snacks that bring a smile to my face & memories to my mind.
The all famous GRAPES. Almost everywhere you turn, every household would have hanging vines. Not only did this provide us with a beautiful ceiling filled with growing grapes, but it would be our shelter & shade while sitting outside on a summers day.
Grapes provide us with a myriad of health benefits. They are full of antioxidant power, and contain a great amount of nutrients & minerals.

HEART: Help prevents blood clots reducing chance of heart attacks & strokes.
CHOLESTEROL: antioxidants present in grapes prevent oxidation of LDL cholesterol & in turn prevents this bad cholesterol from blocking blood vessels. Moreover saponins present in grape skin can prevent absorption of chelesterol by binding with it.
FATIGUE: The antioxidants & iron present in grapes helps in prevention of fatigue.
IMMUNE BOOST: Once again, antioxidants help in elimination of free radicals. This helps boost immunity as well as eliminate cancerous cells.
ANTI-CANCER: Resveratrol is considered to have anti-inflammatory effects. Other properties of grapes can inhibit the growth of cancer causing agents and reduce or prevent proliferation of cancerous cells. Aside from prevent cancers, grapes have the ability to suppress gowth & spread of cencer cells.
