Researchers have found that drinking a glass of red wine after a meal can release a large amount of carcinogenic substances that accumulate in the body. The findings show that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), a powerful carcinogen that accumulates in the body, such as smoking or eating barbecue, are significantly reduced by drinking red wine, especially red wine containing 100% grape juice.
Since ancient times, grapes have been known as the “father of all fruits”. Grapes contain sufficient water, glucose and vitamins A, B, C, D and E. They also provide fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine, potassium and other trace elements. It maintains the health of body cells, helps detoxify organs, purifies the body, softens blood vessels, promotes blood circulation, delivers calcium from the blood to the bones, and improves bone calcium.
A glass of red wine after dinner is good for health
Researchers tested smokers by asking them to drink 200ml of red wine every day for four consecutive days and measured the content of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon metabolite 1-hydroxypyrene in their urine before and after drinking red wine. The results showed that after 6 hours of smoking and drinking a glass of red wine, a large amount of 1-hydroxypyrene in human blood would be excreted through urine.
If you don’t drink red wine, the amount of 1-hydroxypyrene emissions will be minimal. Red wine contains a large amount of polyphenols, which are anti-carcinogenic substances. Drinking this red wine to mice injected with carcinogenic substances can excrete a large amount of the 1-hydroxypyrene toxin in their urine, thus effectively preventing cancer.
In addition, although grapes are very sweet, they are very low in calories and fat. Red wine for middle-aged and elderly people can help purify the body’s organs and soften blood vessels. Drinking red wine can also help with anorexia, indigestion, enteritis, chronic pharyngitis and other diseases.
