Today's health tip: GRAPES can cure back pain

An achy back creates a great deal of discomfort for everyone, especially people who have to lift things or sit at a desk at work.

If you suffer from an aching back reach for some grapes for instant relief. Recent studies at Ohio State University suggest eating a heaping cup of grapes daily can relax tight blood vessels, significantly improving blood flow to damaged back tissues.

The good news, according to the researchers, is that you can feel the relief within hours. 

Your back’s vertebrae and shock-absorbing discs are completely dependent on nearby blood vessels to bring them healing nutrients and oxygen, so improving blood flow is essential for healing damaged back tissue.

Go ahead. Have some grapes. They less expensive than a visit to the physiotherapist ... and certainly less stressful.
