Results of a U.S. study suggest that eating grapes can help you lower your blood pressure.

The study was performed by researchers from Michigan and showed that mice fed grapes had improved blood pressure readings, and better heart health.

Researchers are pretty confident that the same study performed in humans would prove to be just as inciteful, and could greatly aid in a person’s ability to take better control over their health.

The study, published in the Journal of Gerontology: Biological Sciences featured an experiment in which lab rats fed a high salt diet being fed grapes.

The rats whose blood pressure and heart function was already bad from eating all the salt, showed a major improvement in both avenues.

“These findings support our theory that something within the grapes themselves has a direct impact on cardiovascular risk, beyond the simple blood pressure-lowering impact that we already know can come from a diet rich in fruits and vegetables,” Mitchell Seymour of the Cardioprotection Research Laboratory at the University of Michigan said in a statement.
