What if you drink a glass of wine every night
Yesterday we talk about “bad” Coca-Cola let’s talk about something “good”
We drink wine with a delicious dinner. We want it after a long day. When we gather to celebrate something, wine is always in the middle. Wine is the center of happiness. It relaxes our minds and brings smiles to our faces. Beyond mental happiness, a moderate consumption of wine can do good for your physical health.
We have all heard that a glass of wine here and there is good for our health, but how exactly? The ways seem almost endless. New studies appear to continuously add health benefits from the moderate consumption of wine. Below are some of these benefits.
You will get less sick less often
Although you can not replace a healthy diet rich in vitamins and nutrients that fight disease, research has found that wine stimulates the immune system. Also, antioxidants containing wine increase good cholesterol (HDL) and help the heart. HDL helps prevent the formation of "bad" plaque in the arteries, resulting in the prevention of heart attacks and strokes.
You can easily control your weight
Studies have shown that resveratrol contained in wine can help prevent weight gain. When Washington State University researchers mowed a diet that combined high fat and resveratrol, the mice put about 40% less weight. Scientists have concluded that antioxidant resveratrol can actually turn "bad fat" into "good fat," although they have failed to show that this contributes to weight loss. You have to keep in mind that the wine has calories - about 123 calories per glass - so do not overdo it. Limit your drinking to a glass if you are a woman or two glasses if you are a man.
You may have a stronger heart
Again, we should thank the antioxidant resveratrol for stimulating the heart by drinking a glass of wine in the evening, especially red wine. Tannins and procyanidins contained in red wine are associated with protection from heart disease. In addition, a Harvard School of Public Health study that analyzed the data from 11,711 men with hypertension or unusually high blood pressure, found that those who drank moderately were 30% less likely to suffer a heart attack. But here too, eating with moderation is the key. Chronic over-consumption of alcohol has been linked to heart failure, which has been medically called cardiomyopathy and heart failure.
You may have stronger bones
Although it is known that heavy drinking tends to be associated with an increased risk of developing osteoporosis, some studies have shown stimulating bone growth in menopausal women who drank on average a glass of wine a day. In addition, alcohol can affect the absorption of calcium in the stomach, which may over time affect the ability to develop strong bones. It is important, however, to note that regular physical activity also plays a crucial role in maintaining strong and healthy bones.
You can keep your mind strong for longer
It is a fact that brain function falls as we get older. But one way to keep it booming is to drink in moderation, for example a glass of wine every night. A Columbia University study of 1,416 people found that people who enjoyed moderate alcoholic drinks had a slower slowdown in their brain function than those who did not.
You may have better vision
Even if your vision blurs a little when you drink wine, research shows that in the long run moderate consumption of wine can help your vision. An Icelandic study found that people who consumed alcohol were 32% less likely to have cataracts than people who did not drink alcohol. In particular, people who chose to drink wine were 43% less likely to have cataracts than people who chose to drink beer.
You may be more happy
You may have already felt the warm and pleasant feeling that brings the wine. This has to do with the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and opioid peptides released from alcohol. But in addition, wine can help keep the black thoughts away for much longer than the time you hold your glass. A study focusing on the effects of the Mediterranean diet strangely found that men and women who drank two to seven glasses of wine each week were less prone to depression than people who did not drink at all.
It can reduce the risk of cancer
Although alcohol consumption is generally associated with an increased risk for many cancers, wine especially has protective benefits. Resveratrol in red wine has anti-cancer properties, so red wine is the best choice if you are going to drink alcohol. An Australian study found that women who drank about a glass of wine each night (or day) had up to 50 percent less chance of developing ovarian cancer compared to women who did not drink any wine at all.
