Red wine and health has always been a matter of significant discussion and research. Red wine has been recommended for various heath associated problems – such as digestive aid, a cure for a wide range of ailments, including lethargy and diarrhea, among other things.
Many studies suggest that the French are healthy due to the substantial presence of red wine in their daily diet. Here are some of the health benefits of enjoying an occasional glass of red wine.
Wine protects your heart:
Wine contains one of the most powerful antioxidant compounds which can help reduce the saturated fat deposits in the arteries. Red wine also contains compounds which protects you against cardiovascular diseases. Even so, wine should be taken in moderation. When red wine is consumed in moderation, it raises your HDL cholesterol, which is the good cholesterol.
Wine prevents tooth decay:
Wine hardens the enamel of your teeth which in turn prevents tooth decay and the growth of bacteria. Wine also reduces the inflammation of your gums and prevents gum diseases.
Wine encourages sound sleep:
Red wine contains melatonin which can help you sleep peacefully. Even so, wine for sleep is only recommended once in a while, not frequently. If the sleep problem persists, you should consult a doctor.
Wine gives you a longer life:
Scientists believe that red wine can elongate your life span to a certain extent. It also protects you from Dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Wine boosts your performance during a workout:
Researchers have found that high doses of Resveratrol, which is a bio compound found in red wine, improves physical performance, muscle strength and heart function.
