So far, it has been confirmed that antioxidants rich in polyphenols are effective in oxidative stress and diseases related to obesity. Studies on laboratory mice have also shown positive effects on cancer and other serious diseases. What is incredible about this is that most of these healthy substances are found in grape seeds.

Researchers from the University of Montpellier in France have discovered a connection between metabolic processes and the hormone adiponectin. The more fat there is in the body, the less of this hormone is present. When the level of adiponectin increases, the body starts to use up fat reserves. In addition to natural weight loss, our blood vessels are cleaned, and there is less strain on the heart, liver, and kidneys. With greater absorption of nutrients, our well-being is also improved. The intestines and the entire digestive tract work better. Tests have shown that after 12 weeks, laboratory mice were cured of all diseases and were as healthy as ever, even though they were fed high-fat food with the addition of grape seed extract.

All mice showed increased insulin resistance, lower blood glucose levels, and a reduced level of oxidative stress associated with various heart diseases.

Human trials have not yet been conducted, but the connection between obesity and metabolic processes is certainly important for understanding some of our diseases.

You can certainly do the following: start collecting grape seeds. When you have gathered a spoon or two, grind them and add them to fruit or vegetable smoothies. It won't harm you, and you may even lose a few extra pounds.
