Dried grapes as good as energy bars
28 July, 2012
ISLAMABAD: Raisins can help power the body when exercising just as well as expensive sports nutrient bars, a study suggests. The dried grapes give athletes all they need during vigorous exercise, the Daily Mail reported quoting a study by researchers at the University of California-Davis. The research team studied people running three miles, giving them either raisins, supplement bars or simply water. Runners who ate raisins or bars ran the distance a minute faster on average than those who had only water. The results are published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition. End.
