    1. Provide an Energy Boost

    Since raisins are high in calories, they give you an energy boost. There's also the fact of how raisins regulate your cholesterol levels since they are high in dietary fibre.

    1. High in Antioxidants

    Raisins are exceptionally high in antioxidants. they have phenols and polyphenols, which play a major role in fighting against and removing free radicals from your body. Oxidative stress and the buildup f free radicals are the primary causes of diseases like cancer, heart attacks, and stroke - but raisins stave off that risk by a significant margin when you add them to your diet

    1. Good for Your Oral Health

    There are studies that show how the antimicrobial compounds in raisins are good for your gums and teeth. They prevent cavities and eliminate harmful bacteria. And since they've got natural sugars and not added ones, they're much healthier than any processed snacks.
