Lower than other countries, but France suffers from heart disease death rate, in the industrialized countries is the lowest, it is only 60% of the incidence of the United States, and the average life expectancy than the United States of America's longevity of the recipe lies in the regular consumption of wine, as well as other dietary and lifestyle habits of coordination.

Phenolic substances and Oligoe Lement in wine have the function of oxidizers, which can prevent the metabolic process of human body from generating reactive oxygen (Rosoxin).

In addition, the original flower pigment infarction risk of death. 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.
2, wine on the prevention and treatment of cerebral thrombosis
Wine contains resveratrol (Resveratrol), which is a kind of plant antitoxin, with the inhibition of platelet aggregation. Resveratrol in wine exists on the skin of grapes and is a to fir new? Grape ligand, in - red wine contains about 1 microgram per liter, while in white wine contains only 0.2 micrograms. 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.
3, 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 at the University of Munich have recently pointed out that the traditional argument that drinking more beverages can prevent kidney stones is not scientific, nor is it comprehensive, and the most important thing is to look at what kind of beverages are being consumed, and through the clinical observation of 45,000 healthy people and patients, the researchers have confirmed that those who drink moderate amounts of wine on a regular basis are not prone to getting kidney stones. The researchers found that people who drink different beverages in moderation have different risks of getting kidney stones. People who drink a quarter of a liter of coffee a day have a 10 percent lower risk of getting kidney stones than those who don't have the habit; those who drink black tea regularly have a 14 percent lower risk; and those who drink wine regularly have the least chance of getting kidney stones -- and a 36 percent lower risk of getting the disease than those who don't have the habit.

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 is effective because it fights estrogen, which is linked to breast cancer.
5, 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.
6, red wine against retinal degeneration
Harvard University research found that: red wine has to prevent macular (retinal) degeneration.

Scientists announced the results of the test shows 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.

Scientists believe that this is because grapes contain "phenol" compounds, can be in the virus surface body into a layer of film, so that it is difficult to enter the human body cells, so as to achieve the effect of cold prevention. Since "phenol" mainly exists on the skin of grapes, so when you have a cold, drink hot red wine, can reduce the symptoms of colds and prevent colds.
