Health Tips

1. Raisins are nature's candy. They are one among the world's healthiest dried fruits. Raisins are free of cholesterol, salt, and fat. They provide iron, potassium, calcium, and certain B vitamins. Raisins are high in antioxidants and fiber. Raisins contain 70% pure fructose (a natural sugar) for rapid energy.

2. A Mediterranean-style diet includes naturally fiber-rich sun-dried raisins, according to new research. The current study looked at how sun-dried raisins in a high-fiber, low-saturated-fat diet affected adults with high cholesterol. The diet reduced LDL (“bad”) and total cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease. Over half of American adults have high cholesterol (200 mg/dl).

3. Consumption of sun-dried raisins was associated with a reduction in some colon cancer risk factors, according to lead author and researcher Gene Spiller of the Health Research and Studies Center in Los Altos, California. “Eating only two servings of raisins improved colon function and may help prevent the predicted 130,000 new instances of colorectal cancer this year.”
