Sipping on some red wine while
relaxing is a great way for some of us to relax.
For some of us, the relaxing
sensation triggered by the rogue wine is the reason we’re devoted to the
beverage. For others, cultural priorities, social status and class systems
regard drinking red wine as a necessity.
Like all alcoholic beverages,
medical experts recommend moderate consumption of red wine: two glasses for
males and one glass for females per day.
Here are some reasons to have a
glass of red wine with your next meal
Reduces the risk of heart-related
disease
Researchers say red wine contains
tannins which in turn consists of procyanidins, that have shown to be effective
in preventing cardiovascular disease.
WebMD also reports that
researchers at the Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa found that blood
vessel cell health was improved upon consumption of red wine.
This improved the overall health
of the heart and lowered the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Reduces the risk of cancer
Breast, colon, and prostate
cancers are said to be likely reduced with the presence of red wine
consumption.
The antioxidants contained in red
wine fight off free radicals in the body cells — these have been reported to
encourage the growth of cancer cells.
Improves brain function
The active chemicals present in
red wine act in preventing the brain’s neurons from dying off.
Neuro related degenerative
diseases like Parkinson’s are consequently are prevented from acting freely on
a brain of a human consuming red wine in moderation.
Red wine helps prevent loss of
vision
Ongoing research suggests that
the resveratrol present in red wine could potentially help diabetic patients
suffering from vision problems.
Resveratrol is derived from the
skin of grapes (the major ingredient) used in making red wine. The fermentation
process involved in red wine (which is longer), makes it contain more
Resveratrol then white wine.
In addition to diabetes-related
vision problems, Resveratrol present in red wine could potentially help with
triggers of other retinal detachment (a situation where the retina peels away
from its supporting tissue). Severe retinal detachment could lead to loss of
sight in the affected eye.
