2, wine and cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment
The original flower pigment in wine can stabilize the collagen fibers that constitute various membranes and inhibit histidine decarboxylation? excessive production of histamine, reduce the permeability of the blood vessel wall to prevent atherosclerosis. In addition, the original flower pigment infarction death risk. According to the American Medical Research Association statistics show that: like to drink low-grade wine of the French, Italians, heart disease mortality rate is the lowest, and drink more spirits, wine less Americans, Finns heart disease mortality rate is very high.
3, wine on the prevention and treatment of cerebral thrombosis
Wine contains resveratrol, which is a kind of plant antitoxin, with the inhibition of platelet aggregation. The quinine in wine exists on the skin of grapes, containing about 1 microgram per liter in red wine and only 0.2 microgram in white wine. Experiments show that: even if the red wine diluted 1000 times, the inhibition of platelet aggregation is still effective, the inhibition rate of 42%, can reduce the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis.
4, wine can prevent kidney stones
German scientists in the study found that moderate drinking wine can prevent kidney stones. Medical scientists at the Institute of Medical Research of the University of Munich recently pointed out that: more drinks can prevent kidney stones of the traditional statement is not scientific, not comprehensive, the most important thing is to look at what kind of drinks to drink, through the 45,000 healthy people and patients of clinical observation, researchers confirmed that people who often drink a moderate amount of wine, not easy to get kidney stones. The researchers found that people who drink different drinks in moderation have different risks of getting kidney stones. People who drink a quarter of a liter of coffee a day have a 10% lower risk of getting kidney stones than those who do not have the habit; those who drink black tea regularly have a 14% lower risk; and those who drink wine regularly have the least chance of getting kidney stones, and their risk of getting the disease is 36% lower than those who do not have the habit.
5, wine can prevent breast cancer
The latest test results show that: to wine drinks, feeding has induced cancer rats, found that wine has a strong inhibitory effect on cancer. Researchers at the University of Illinois College of Pharmacy in the United States have selected mulberry, peanut and grape skins as the most potent cancer-fighting ingredients. American scientists have recently discovered that wine contains a chemical that can prevent breast cancer, said Roy Williams of the San Francisco Wine Institute. Williams said at a press conference in Washington, D.C., they found a substance in red and white wine to prevent breast cancer. The substance has this effect because it is anti-estrogen, which is linked to breast cancer.
6, red wine to combat retinal degeneration
Harvard University research found that: red wine has to prevent the role of macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is due to the harmful oxygen molecules free, so that the macula in the body is damaged, and wine, especially red wine contains substances that can eliminate oxygen free radicals resveratrol, can protect the visual sense from its harm. Tests have confirmed that people who regularly drink a small amount of red wine are 20% less likely to suffer from macular degeneration than those who don't.
7, wine helps to improve memory
Scientists announced the results of the test showed that: moderate consumption of wine, help to improve brain memory and learning ability. Two doctors from the University of Milan found that moderate consumption of wine will promote the brain to produce a certain amount of chemical substances, which can promote a kind of nerve cell memory-related generation. It has been determined that drinking wine enhances the brain's ability to memorize and learn more than non-drinkers. Another doctor found that obese patients who drink wine properly during weight loss will remain energetic and will not be depressed by dieting, leading to memory loss.
8, wine can inhibit fat absorption
Japanese scientists found that red wine can inhibit fat absorption, there are rats for the test, rats drinking wine for a period of time after the discovery of its intestinal fat absorption slowed down on the human clinical trials, also obtained the same conclusion.
9, wine can antioxidant, delay aging
Proanthocyanidins in wine, is currently recognized internationally, so far found, remove free radicals in the body of the most effective natural antioxidants. Anti-free radical oxidizing ability is 50 times that of vitamin E, 20 times that of vitamin C, and is absorbed quickly and completely. Resveratrol in wine, a natural antioxidant, can slow down aging.
10, wine can help digestion
In the stomach, 60-100 grams of wine, can make the normal gastric juice production of 120 ml. Wine is conducive to the assimilation of proteins; tannins of red wine, can increase the contractility of smooth muscle fibers in the intestinal muscular system. Therefore, wine regulates the functioning of the colon and is effective against colitis. Sweet white wine contains potassium sorbate, which helps the secretion of bile and pancreas. Therefore, wine can help digestion and prevent constipation.
What are the disadvantages of drinking wine in excess
1, heart disease: studies have found that people who drink more than four glasses of red wine a day will increase the risk of heart disease. Alcohol contained in wine has the effect of elevating blood lipids and promoting cardiovascular disease in high doses.
2, memory loss: excessive consumption of red wine, too much alcohol intake, the brain's nerves are inhibited, over time, memory will decline.
3, digestive diseases: a large amount of alcohol into the human body, first in the stomach to dilute gastric juices, so that the gastric mucous membrane is reduced, and subsequently damage the mucous membrane of the digestive tract, it will aggravate the condition of all the diseases of the digestive tract, such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenogastric ulcers, enteritis, and other intestinal diseases.
4, hypertension: with the increase in alcohol consumption, whether systolic or diastolic blood pressure has a progressive increase, the study found that a large number of people who drink a lot of alcohol stroke mortality rate is higher than a small number of people who drink three times. Hypertension after drinking alcohol, there will be a brief drop in blood pressure, and then the blood pressure will rebound up and higher than usual.
5, liver disease: long-term excessive drinking, too much ethanol into the blood, in the body metabolism process, the fatty acid synthesis in the liver increased, oxidation is reduced, the fat will be gathered in the liver, to become a fatty liver, alcoholic liver. Furthermore, alcohol can directly damage liver cells, resulting in elevated transaminases, if you continue to drink alcohol, liver cells will be sharply degenerated and metabolic disorders, this time the amount of food is reduced, lack of nutrients, prompting the liver cells continue to necrotic, and continue to be proliferated by the replacement of fibrous tissues, thus turning the clinically more difficult to treat liver cirrhosis.
6, gout: both red wine and other wines contain alcohol, alcohol can make the body lactic acid increase, lactic acid will inhibit the excretion of uric acid in the renal tubules, alcohol can also promote the breakdown of purine and make blood uric acid rise, so a large number of drinking can lead to gouty attacks.
7, malnutrition: excessive alcohol intake will reduce the absorption rate of B vitamins, zinc and iron, will lead to alcoholic malnutrition.
8, obesity: alcohol contained in the wine in high doses has the effect of elevating blood lipids, but also has the function of saving fat, each gram of alcohol can provide 7 kcal of energy, and the function of the speed is relatively fast, if you drink 350 ml of red wine, the alcohol provided is equivalent to the energy of a bowl of rice, the saving of fat had to stay in the body to be stored, and over time obesity is looking for the door.
9, aging: drinking red wine more than a certain amount of red wine, the role of fat over the role of antioxidants, it will be counterproductive, so that women's heart and liver function is impaired, skin roughness, early aging.
10, the impact of the next generation: studies show that alcohol can also damage sperm, damaged sperm if inseminated, will affect the development of the fetus in the womb, easy to cause miscarriage, but also birth deformities, the child was born after the poor intelligence and other symptoms.
What are the contraindications to drinking red wine
1, gastric patients
While wine helps to protect the stomach and help digestion, but there are gastrointestinal disorders, especially serious gastric patients, it is not appropriate to drink wine, otherwise it is easy to cause gastric stimulation and aggravate the condition.

3, pregnant women
Some sommeliers believe that a small amount of wine consumption by pregnant women is not detrimental to their own health and the health of the fetus, but some other medical researchers have warned mothers-to-be: even a small amount of alcohol in the body of the pregnant woman may cause harm to the fetus, especially to the fetal brain stem nerve damage, which can easily lead to the birth of the fetus is not intellectually sound, reduced IQ and the occurrence of ADHD.
4, liver disease patients
Generally speaking, normal people drink wine in moderation is good for health, because the liver can metabolize and detoxify alcohol in the body. However, patients with liver disease (including chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, drug liver disease, fatty liver) have more or less impaired liver function, the detoxification capacity of alcohol is weaker than normal people, so it is not suitable for patients with liver disease to drink wine.
5, high blood sugar
High blood sugar people should not drink ordinary red wine, you can drink a moderate amount of dry red. In addition, people who do not sleep well should not drink red wine, red wine to help people fall asleep as soon as possible only short-term promotion effect, but long-term drinking no benefit. Because the composition of red wine is alcohol, alcohol can make people excited in a short period of time, and then produce inhibition of the cerebral cortex nerves, making people drowsy. But in the morning when people wake up people are often prone to headaches, mental instability, and over time will damage human health.
