Consumption of raisins improves oral health
Raisins are a food that can be easily packaged and consumed, have almost no adverse effects on the body and, like any other dried fruit,
are available all year round.
Raisins are a rich source of phenols, which have antioxidant activity and prevent damage to the body’s cells.
Raisins are also rich in a mineral called boron.
Although this element is not very common in public health recommendations,
it is very important for maintaining the health of the body and is especially important in older women to maintain
bone health and prevent osteoporosis.
Boron is also needed to convert estrogen and vitamin D into the most active types.
Raisins are one of the 50 most important sources of boron in the US diet.
In addition, you may recall that when you were a child, your mother always advised you to eat carrots to maintain eyesight and eye health,
but in adulthood, the fruit that can play even more important than carrots is raisins.
Despite its sweet and sticky taste, raisins not only do not cause tooth decay and gum disease, but also actually improve oral health.
Raisins contain a chemical that has a great effect on killing the bacteria that cause tooth decay.
In addition, the sugars in raisins, which are mostly fructose and glucose, such as sucrose,
which is a major cause of oral disease, do not play a role in tooth decay.
