The first is to slow down the aging: the human body, like metal, will gradually "oxidize" in nature. The main culprit of human oxidation is not oxygen, but oxygen free radicals, a kind of cell nucleus containing unpaired electrons outside the active group. This unpaired electron is easy to cause chemical reactions, damage to DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), proteins and lipids and other important biomolecules, which in turn affects the cell membrane transport process, so that the organization, the function of the apparatus is impaired, and promote the aging of the body. Red wine contains more antioxidants, such as phenolics, ellagic acid, flavonoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, trace elements such as selenium, zinc, manganese, etc., can eliminate or fight against oxygen free radicals, so it has the role of anti-ageing and disease prevention.
The second is the prevention of cardiovascular disease: red wine can make the blood of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) rise, and the role of HDL is to transfer cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues to the liver for metabolism, so it can effectively reduce blood cholesterol, prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis. Not only that, the polyphenol substances in red wine can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis. Although white wine also has the effect of anti-platelet aggregation, but a few hours later there will be a "rebound", so that the platelet aggregation is more hyper than before drinking, and red wine is not this rebound phenomenon. The inhibition of platelet aggregation continues 18 hours after drinking.
The third is to prevent cancer: resveratrol contained in the skin of grapes, anti-cancer properties in hundreds of plants commonly eaten by humans in the best. It can prevent normal cells from becoming cancerous and inhibit the spread of cancer cells. Among all kinds of wines, the content of resveratrol in red wine is the highest. Because resveratrol can make cancer cells lose their ability to move, so red wine is a good product to prevent cancer.
The fourth is the role of beauty: since ancient times, red wine as a beauty good, doubly loved by people. Some people say that French women's skin is delicate, moist and rich in elasticity, and often drink red wine. Red wine can prevent aging, make the skin less wrinkles. In addition to drinking, many people like to apply red wine to the face and body surface, because the low concentration of fruit acids have the effect of anti-wrinkle skin cleansing. Although the benefits of drinking red wine are numerous, there is a limit to the amount of red wine that can be consumed. Experts believe that drinking red wine, according to the alcohol content of 12%, should not be more than 250 milliliters per day, otherwise it will be harmful to health.
