A recent study conducted by researchers from Rutgers University and the University of Western New England has found that regular consumption of grapes may enhance muscle health and potentially make women's muscles more similar to men's in terms of metabolic indicators.

The study, published in the journal Foods, suggests that grapes stimulate the activity of genes responsible for muscle growth and protecting them from degradation, opening new possibilities for improving muscle performance in individuals.
How Do Grapes Affect Muscle Health?
Experiments conducted on mice showed that consuming grapes significantly altered the gene expression in muscles, increasing the activity of genes that promote muscle tissue size and protect it from deterioration.
The results also revealed that the muscles of female mice became more similar to male mice in terms of functional and metabolic characteristics, indicating a clear impact of grapes on enhancing overall muscle strength.
Additional Health Benefits of Grapes
Previous studies have consistently highlighted the many health benefits of grapes, including their role in supporting heart health, kidney function, skin, eyes, and the digestive system, in addition to their potential role in promoting muscle growth.
Can Grapes Replace Exercise?
Despite the positive results, the researchers emphasize that consuming grapes alone cannot replace regular exercise or a protein-rich diet. However, grapes may serve as a helpful supplement in muscle-building strategies, especially for older adults experiencing muscle mass loss due to aging.
