A glass of wine a day

Of all the ways to take care of your health, this is probably the easiest and most enjoyable of all. A glass of wine a day to care for your heart? It's true. Alcohol, or more specifically, wine, is not something we would expect to help health. In fact, we know that in excess it can wreak havoc on the body in various ways, but that myth of a glass a day turns out to be true, as it can indeed strengthen the body and prevent upcoming diseases. Moreover, the more they research the benefits of this drink, the more findings come to light. The most recent news is that under the framework of four to seven glasses of wine a week, one can fight against depression. The polyphenols found in the skins of grapes and consequently in wine are natural mood boosters that keep us away from chronic depression and low morale. Now, speaking of the benefit of red wine specifically for our cardiovascular system and indeed, for the heart, this was proven in 1992 when “the French paradox” was discovered. It turns out that in southern France, the normal diet of citizens is full of fats and carbohydrates, but unlike other nations, they do not suffer from heart attacks or other cardiovascular diseases, at least not in the amounts seen in other countries in Europe and the world. It was deduced that this is due to their high wine consumption. Several studies agree that different substances such as polyphenols and particularly resveratrol present especially in red wine, being very powerful antioxidants, have a preventive effect against various diseases such as cancer and other ailments like heart attacks or gastric dysfunctions. It goes without saying that the abuse of this product or any other alcoholic beverage can develop completely opposite effects and reduce health. As for which wines to choose, it all depends on personal taste. Of course, as we mentioned earlier, red wine has a higher number of antioxidants, so if you choose, it would be wise to select it. This doesn't mean that white wine doesn't have the same benefits, but its effect is more subtle. We recommend consuming this glass of wine about four times a week during meals so that the body can assimilate it and thus obtain all its benefits.
