"This substance is a kind of antioxidant levels higher than the antioxidants found in vitamin C," said public health nutrition experts, Bogor Agricultural University, Prof. Dr. Ir Ali Khomsan, in a press conference in Jakarta, Wednesday (1/7).

Ali said, cities such as Jakarta people more prone to premature aging more as much exposure to air pollution. Toxic substances dispersed in the air cause oxidation or the occurrence of damage to body cells.

"To prevent this oxidation, necessary antioxidants. Besides grape skin contains fiber is also a source of antioxidants," said Ali. 

According to Ali, some people peel the grape skins before eating. This is because the domestic grape skin is thicker than wine imports. "Seeing the skin benefits of good grape, eat good local and imported grapes remain the skin eaten alone," he said. 

Threats associated with existing pesticides in fruit skin, Ali said, not to worry. Existing pesticides are water soluble, so before eating the fruit, including grapes, wash with running water while being rubbed. How much wine consumed? 

"Basically, every day we should eat two servings of fruit each day and varied. For wine, 1 equivalent to 6-8 servings of grapes. No need each day. Every day eating is not prohibited, but wine is expensive, right?" he said.
