Raisins, as a natural and healthy snack, indeed offer multiple nutritional benefits. Below is a summarized overview for you:
### **Quick Energy Boost**
- Contain over 70% natural sugars (glucose/fructose), making them ideal for post-exercise or when quick energy is needed. However, their high glycemic index (GI=64) means diabetics should consume with caution.
### **Improving Anemia**
- Provide 1.88mg of iron per 100g (~10% of daily needs). Pairing with vitamin C-rich foods (e.g., oranges) enhances absorption. Note: Plant-based iron is less bioavailable than heme iron (from animal liver), so anemia patients should combine with other sources.
### **Gut Health**
- Dietary fiber (3.7g/100g) promotes digestion, while its sorbitol content has a mild laxative effect. Studies (e.g., *Journal of Nutrition*) suggest 30g daily may relieve constipation.
### **Antioxidant Protection**
- Rich in resveratrol, anthocyanins (especially in red/black raisins), and polyphenols. Their antioxidant capacity is 5x higher than fresh grapes, aiding anti-inflammation and anti-aging.
### **Bone Health Support**
- Calcium (50mg/100g) + boron synergize to enhance bone density, benefiting postmenopausal women and the elderly.
### **Other Potential Benefits**
- **Cardiovascular Health**: High potassium (749mg/100g) helps regulate blood pressure. Research (*Journal of the American Heart Association*) links daily intake to reduced systolic pressure.
- **Oral Health**: Oleanolic acid inhibits *Streptococcus mutans* (cavity-causing bacteria), but rinsing after eating is advised due to sugar content.
