Wine is a nutritious, premium wine beverage. Many people like to drink it. They feel that it is better for their health to drink a little wine from time to time. Medical research has shown that grapes are rich in nutrients and wine also contains many amino acids, minerals and vitamins that must be replenished and absorbed by the body.
Helps digestion
Wine can stimulate the secretion of stomach acid. Every 60-100 grams of wine can increase gastric juice secretion by 120 ml. The tannins in wine can increase the contraction of smooth muscle fibers in the muscular system of the intestine, regulating the function of the colon, helping digestion and preventing constipation.
Beauty and anti-aging
Wine contains an amazing antioxidant, resveratrol. Research shows that resveratrol is a good super antioxidant that can effectively scavenge free radicals, promote cell regeneration, delay aging and prevent skin relaxation. In addition to drinking it, many people like to apply red wine to their face and body because of the low concentration of fruit acids that have anti-wrinkle and skin cleansing effects (not recommended for people with alcohol allergies).
Promotes sleep
The reason we often think of wine as a sleep aid is because of the alcohol. In fact, excessive consumption can have a negative effect on sleep quality. What improves insomnia and sleep quality is melatonin. Of all alcoholic beverages, red wine has the highest melatonin content.
A study found that melatonin is only produced in the grape fruit through fermentation, which is beneficial for sleep, so grape juice and grape fruit by themselves have no effect on sleep.
Prevention of cardiovascular disease
Grapes contain more anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, tannins and other phenolic compounds, which can significantly dilate blood vessels and improve vascular permeability. In addition, red grapes contain flavonoids, which can lower blood pressure, increase high-density protein in the body, lower blood cholesterol and blood lipids, and prevent cardiovascular disease.
Prevent and treat colds
It has been found that people who drink alcohol regularly rarely catch a cold. People have noticed this phenomenon. They experimented by adding red wine, white wine and grape juice to virus cultures. The results showed that common cold and flu viruses such as herpes simplex virus and coxsackie virus were inactivated in wine and juice, and the juice extracted from grape skins was the most effective.
Scientists believe that this is because grapes contain “phenolic” compounds, which can form a film in the virus body, making it difficult to enter the body cells, thus achieving the effect of cold prevention and treatment.
01
Overconsumption
Although wine has high nutritional value, it is after all a wine with a certain alcohol content. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate to drink 50ml of wine per day. No matter how effective wine is, you should not drink too much of it. Otherwise, it will destroy the immune function of the body and increase the chance of human diseases.
02
Drinking and smoking food
Some people like to use smoked food as a wine dish. In fact, it is not scientific to use these smoked foods in wine dishes. They are high in nitrosamines and coloring. When eaten with wine, they interact with alcohol, which not only irritates the mucous membranes of the mouth and esophagus, but also causes liver damage, and even cancer and other malignant diseases. Therefore, it is recommended that fresh meat be paired with red wine.
03
Adding ice to wine
Some wine consumers like to add some ice cubes directly to their wine for a cooling effect. This practice not only dilutes the flavor and aroma of the wine by adding ice, but also causes discomfort in people with a cold stomach and a weak spleen.
04
Seafood Wine
Autumn is the best time to eat seafood. Many people like to enjoy seafood with red wine. In fact, red wine, especially aged red wine, due to its high tannin content, when consumed with seafood, can easily cause the seafood to age, resulting in the loss of freshness, and thus the loss of freshness. For some people with poor gastrointestinal function, red wine with seafood may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort and even diarrhea.
Pregnant women
Some people believe that it is okay for pregnant women to drink small amounts of alcohol, but some medical researchers believe that even small amounts of alcohol can cause damage to the fetus, especially the dry brain nerves, which can easily lead to mental retardation, lower IQ and postpartum ADHD.
Patients with liver disease
Generally speaking, it is healthy for normal people to drink in moderation because the liver can metabolize and detoxify alcohol in the body. However, patients with liver disease have more or less impaired liver function, and the detoxification ability of alcohol is weaker than normal people, so it is not suitable for patients with liver disease.
For people with stomach problems
Although wine can help protect the stomach and aid digestion, it is not suitable for patients with gastrointestinal diseases, especially those with severe stomach problems, as it can easily cause stomach irritation and aggravate the condition.
People with arteriosclerosis
For people who already suffer from blood vessel stenosis, drinking too much red wine is not good for blood supply function, and alcohol itself will increase blood lipids and promote arteriosclerosis.
