For those who love wine, it’s time to drink all year round. Spring drinking is for pleasure, summer drinking is for boredom, autumn drinking is for anxiety, winter drinking is for warmth, day drinking is for etiquette, night drinking is for love. Wine is not everything, but it is absolutely impossible without it.
Wine is a special kind of drink. Due to the effect of alcohol, people can feel its sweetness, aroma and spicy stimulation when they swallow it. In addition, when it enters the intestines and stomach, they feel warmth throughout the body, relaxation of the limbs, excitement of the nerves and increased energy. In addition to matching the mood to the season, drinking wine is also good for your health.
However, wine is a double-edged sword. If you don’t drink it in moderation, drink too much, or mix the wrong ingredients, it will harm your health.
Two benefits of drinking wine
① Strengthens the body’s defenses
Wine, in particular, contains vitamins A, B, C, D and E. It also provides trace elements such as fiber, calcium, phosphorus, iron, iodine and potassium, which are very beneficial to the body.
White wine also contains more than 200 functional ingredients that are beneficial to human health, including pyrazines, terpenes, lactones, furans and organic acids. These biologically active ingredients can enhance the body’s defensive functions and regulate physiological rhythms, thus playing a role in preventing disease and promoting recovery.
②Regulate and nourish the body
As the saying goes, “Wine is the essence of grain”. Wine made from grains is the essence of grains.
During the natural fermentation process, the wine absorbs the aura of heaven and earth and becomes one with the natural aura. Autumn and winter are good seasons for people to nourish and recuperate.
Therefore, drinking and absorbing the essence of nature’s winemaking in appropriate amounts is very beneficial to the body’s regulation and nutrition.
Healthy drinking, remember to “drink three do not eat”
① Do not take sedatives, sleeping pills or anti-allergy drugs
Taking them together with alcohol will suppress the central nervous system, or at least cause trance, sleepiness and uncoordinated physical activity. Most importantly, it can deepen depression, dyspnea, coma and lower blood pressure.
Do not eat smoked foods
Because it contains more nitrosamines and pigments, it reacts with alcohol, which not only damages the liver, but also damages the mucous membranes of the mouth, esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, and also induces cancer.
③ Don’t eat durian
Durian contains sulfide. People who eat durian and drink alcohol are more likely to get drunk and even suffer from alcohol poisoning.
For healthy drinking, keep in mind the “three no’s before drinking”.
Don’t drink carbonated beverages
When alcohol and carbonated beverages (including soda, Coke, Sprite, etc.) are mixed in the body, they will quickly enter the gastrointestinal tract and produce large amounts of carbon dioxide, which will stimulate the gastric mucosa, reduce gastric acid secretion, and affect the production of digestive enzymes. If patients with gastrointestinal diseases drink at the same time, it may lead to stomach and duodenal ulcers and bleeding.
②No coffee
Drinking coffee at the same time will aggravate brain damage, stimulate vasodilation, accelerate blood circulation and increase the burden on the cardiovascular system. The damage caused is several times that of drinking alone, and even more likely to be life-threatening.
③ Do not drink carrot juice
Carotenoids, which are rich in carotenoids, enter the body together with alcohol. Under the action of liver enzymes, the liver will produce toxins and cause liver disease. Carrots are not suitable for drinking and cooking, and it is not easy to drink carrot juice after or before drinking to avoid health hazards.
