Wine Benefits
Moderate wine drinking has been linked with reduced risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol found in red wines helps the body fend off free radicals, improve insulin sensitivity and decrease inflammation.
Wine has many other health benefits, including its ability to trigger neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine that induce feelings of pleasure and reward, reduce stress and strengthen immune systems.
Lowers Blood Pressure
Resveratrol, which can also be found naturally in fruits such as peanuts and blueberries, may help reduce high blood pressure by decreasing inflammation and changing how brain transmits messages that lead to depression.
Research has demonstrated that moderate alcohol intake – one drink daily for women and two for men — can significantly lower your risk of heart disease. Drinking more than this, however, increases health risks such as liver damage or car accidents caused by driving after too much to drink has been consumed.
Wine contains natural fruit sugars which cannot be converted to alcohol by yeasts and bacteria, leaving “residual sugars.” According to Queen’s University and Kiel University research, eating flavonoids found in foods such as berries, apples and tea may help lower your blood pressure as well.
Lowers Cholesterol
Contrary to other alcoholic beverages that may increase cholesterol levels, wine has actually been shown to decrease them. This is likely due to its content of resveratrol, which helps prevent LDL (bad) cholesterol buildup and blood clot formation in your heart.
One study concluded that resveratrol could lower total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides among people with isolated hypercholesterolemia; while another small-group experiment over two weeks found no statistically significant changes to LDL, HDL or Lp(a). Both participants drank either red wine or water as their source.
Resveratrol can also be obtained from other sources, including eating grapes and drinking grape juice. Wine may provide additional heart health benefits but should only be consumed moderately to reap its full benefits; excessive alcohol can lead to serious medical problems from high blood pressure to cancer.
Boosts Your Immune System
Wine is an alcoholic drink derived from fermented grape juice that has many health benefits, such as maintaining heart health, protecting against cancer and strengthening bones. However, excessive alcohol consumption can harm one’s wellbeing.
Researchers have recently discovered that wine contains resveratrol, an antioxidant found to increase T-cells and reduce inflammation, potentially helping people avoid cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.
Mix up different varieties of wine to maximize its health-promoting effects. Enjoying several glasses a week could give your immune system an important boost; but keep in mind that too much drinking could prove detrimental rather than helpful.
Boosts Your Memory
Heavy alcohol use can be harmful to the brain. But studies have demonstrated that moderate wine consumption provides significant mental benefits in terms of memory, visuospatial ability and perceptual speed – likely thanks to components in wine such as antioxidant resveratrol which protect against free radicals that damage brain tissue.
Small amounts of alcohol have also been shown to enhance memory by consolidating information acquired during an intoxicated state, known as consolidation. This effect may be ascribed to wine’s ability to increase levels of high-density lipoprotein and inhibit fibrinogen, thus decreasing risk of stroke. Furthermore, responsible consumption of cheese may also help with cognitive performance.
Reduces Stress
As the year 2000 came to a close, numerous reports confirmed the positive results of drinking wine – in moderation of course! — on your heart health. Drinking moderately can increase levels of HDL cholesterol (the “good”) while improving circulation and helping prevent the development of Alzheimer’s disease.
Although most people find drinking wine an anecdotal way of relieving stress, resveratrol has long been recognized for its anti-anxiety benefits. Resveratrol works by inhibiting an enzyme that produces anxiety and depression in your brain and by helping repair DNA that supports stress resistance in your body – possibly even slowing the aging process! What better excuse do we need for celebrating with a glass!
