Superfood: Grapes
I love grapes! Now I have more reasons why…
Grapes are packed with hundreds of antioxidants, including vitamins C and K and beta-carotene, which help rid the body of pesky free radicals (byproducts of oxygen use) that cause cellular damage. Antioxidants act as free radical hunters to prevent and repair the damage to cells[4][5].
What’s more, grapes are a great source of phytonutrients, the most notable of which is resveratrol. Resveratrol has made big headlines in recent years for its potential cardiac benefits like lower levels of LDL cholesterol (high levels of which can lead to heart problems) and prevention of blood vessel damage. Plus, it may help inhibit cancer cell growth and possibly help treat cognitive impairment[6][7].Think grapes are just good eats? Wrong! This fruit’s super power is not just through the belly — it’s good for the skin, too! Grape seed oil contains high amounts of conjugated linoleic acid (a fatty acid and antioxidant). Slathering on some grape seed oil can help skin fight off collagen- and elastin-destroying enzymes and could also inhibit damage caused by free radicals[8]. Isn’t the old saying, “A grape seed a day keeps the wrinkles away?” (Well, now it is.) via Superfood: Grapes | Greatist.com.
Go buy some grapes!!!

Avoid high-sugar fruits…
Apparently eating healthily is more complicated than just avoiding demon Cheddarwurst…
Getting the recommended two cups of fruit per day while keeping sugar intake under the recommended 26 grams per day for women and 36 grams for men can be tricky. Depending on your choices, this could be bad news for fruit lovers: Just two cups of sliced bananas adds up to the maximum recommended amount, clocking in at 36 grams of sugar!
The sugariest fruit we found? Red grapes, which have a whopping 23 grams of sugar per cup. If you’re looking to cut back on your sugar intake, try strawberries or blueberries, which have a respectable 7 grams of sugar per cup.
The Takeaway: Some fruits can have a shocking amount of sugar. To keep it under the recommended limits, try sticking to berries and staying away from grapes.
Juiced?
Regardless of sugar content, whole fruit is always a better choice than fruit juice to keep sugar intake lower and take fiber intake up a notch.
Fun Fact
A cup of orange juice has 30 grams of sugar — nearly as much as a can of soda.
Sigh…
22 cheap and easy ways to eat healthy
My friend David Kanigan confessed an addition to donuts on his blog a few weeks back and I chided him on his blog without confessing a similar addition to Cheddarwursts and other hotdogs and sausages with similar nutritional value…
No more excuses! Forget about the tempting smells from the pizza place down the block. Or how easyit is to pick up a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on the way to work. These tips make eating healthy not only easier, but often cheaper, too.

At home, my wife is obsessed with providing the best of live and homemade foods. In my office where I have my own refrigerator and microwave the contents are Cheddarwursts and Diet Mountain Dew. Sigh. I need to go to the source and review this list. Maybe you do too…
