A healthy intake of raisins (especially before bed or soaked raisins on waking up) helps relieve constipation, keep bowel movements smooth, and eliminates waste products and toxins from the body.

 

2. Raisins improves eyesight

Raisins are rich in polyphenolic phytonutrients such as vitamin A, A-Carotenoid, and beta carotene which help in keeping your eyesight strong.
