Red Grapes!

Just like wine, the skin of red grapes contains the protective chemical resveratrol (as well as other antioxidants) which may sharpen your brain and reduce your risk for both heart disease and cancer, as well as dementia.  In addition, by avoiding alcohol found in a bottle of wine, you’ll stay sharper and more motivated by avoiding the wine’s depressing effects; and alcohol has clearly been linked to certain cancers making fresh grapes a better choice yet!

On a side note: imported grapes (in particular from South America) tend to have higher levels of pesticides due to their more lenient pesticide laws and regualtions.  So go with organic grapes or grapes grown in the USA instead!  Include all varieties and colors of grapes in your diet – they’re full of antioxidants too!
