Five health benefits of Raisins

Raisins, aka Kishmish are the itsy bitsy packets of energy. They are commonly used for garnishing sweet dishes and desserts but they should be used more than that. As they offer a lot of health benefits as well.

Helps Cure Anemia

Raisins are rich in vitamin B-complex and iron. These are important in formation and maturation of the red blood cells. It is highly recommended for women and boys undergoing the growth spurt to make raisins a part of their diet.

Improved Eyesight

Raisins are rich in polyphenolic phytonutrients. These chemicals help reduce antioxidants that tend to weaken the eye sight. Vitamin A and carotenoids are also found in raisins. They are well known to combat color-blindness. So if you or someone close to you has weak eyes, let them know that raisins can help them a great deal!

Keeps Cancer at Bay

As mentioned earlier, Polyphenolic phytonutrients are found in raisins. These antioxidants trap the free radicals and kill them; hence preventing cancer. Free radicals are what basically spur the metastasis which causes abnormal growth of cells.

Helps against Constipation

The fiber in raisins is insoluble; it swells in the presence of water. They have a laxative effect and help against constipation.

Strong Bones

A lot of us take adequate milk and calcium products but they are not properly absorbed; one reason why so many people have low calcium levels. Consuming a bunch of raisins daily with a glass of milk would make it easy for the calcium to be absorbed.
