Benefits of red wine

Red wine stands apart among alcoholic drinks. It is the only one that most people treat as a stimulant and health restorer. France, Italy, Portugal, Georgia and other countries consider red wine a must on their tables. For centuries, the tradition of drinking a glass of dry, semi-sweet or sweet red wine at any time of the year and at almost any age has not been broken. Even children are given red wine, diluting it. The benefits of red wine have long been proven: in addition to its beneficial effect on the entire body, it improves heart function. Wine is a natural product derived from the fermentation of grape juice. It contains such components necessary for health as poppy micro- and macroelements: iron, zinc, sodium, potassium, chromium, rubidium, selenium. They "work" to expand blood vessels, reduce cholesterol levels, and strengthen the heart muscle. Red wine helps increase the level of red blood cells and hemoglobin in the blood, providing an anti-anemic effect, and reduces blood viscosity. These properties, as well as stimulation of digestive tract enzymes and normalization of the metabolic process, make red wine beneficial.

Benefits of Semi-Sweet Red Wine

With the development of science, including medicine, more than once studies have been conducted to establish whether semi-sweet red wine is beneficial or is it a tribute to tradition. But the presence of procyanidins and proanthocyanidins in it immediately confirmed that this wine is capable of ensuring the resorption of lipid deposits on the walls of arteries. In other words, red semi-sweet wine reduces cholesterol. At the same time, it also helps protein fibers, which participate in the process of strengthening the walls of blood vessels.

But the role of procyanidins does not end there. They block the development of chain reactions involving inflammatory factors, including histamine and arachidonic acid, which provoke atherosclerosis.

Benefits of Red Sweet Wine

Red wine is considered sweet if the residual sugar content in a liter is more than 35 g. The caloric content of such wine is about 100 kcal.

There is no contradiction in the fact that there is, repeatedly proven, the benefit of red wine for the heart. It's all about flavonoids - natural substances with strong antioxidant properties and the ability to color plant tissues. This explains the color of some vegetables and fruits. And grapes are among them. When flavonoids enter the body, they begin to protect the walls of blood vessels in case of heart disease. They also lower bad cholesterol, and increase good cholesterol. Flavonoids prevent the formation of blood clots.

Analyzing the beneficial properties of red wine for the heart, French medical researchers note the following pattern: heart attacks more often, and this is 60%, happen to those who do not drink a glass of red wine daily. The Americans also have convincing data. They have the following statistics: those who prefer red wine, just a glass a day, die from cardiovascular diseases 30-40 times less often. The Americans conducted their studies with patients aged 60 years and older.

And they start in childhood, with a glass of this health drink diluted with water. It is not surprising that an 80-year-old resident of Svaneti or a native of Colchis does not complain of heart failure, he is slim and cheerful, holds his horse well and easily climbs the mountains.

Thus, it is possible to identify the mechanisms of the cardioprotective effect of red wine:

1. inhibition of the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the walls of blood vessels;
