We know that proper drinking of red wine is good for the body, such as promoting digestion, preventing diseases, helping sleep, etc. However, the premise for these effects to be exerted is to drink a moderate amount of wine, and excessive drinking Drinking alcohol can be counterproductive. So how much red wine should be controlled?

So today we will talk about how to drink red wine correctly.

1. Drink according to the alcohol content

The World Health Organization’s international collaborative research points out that under normal circumstances, the daily alcohol intake of men should be less than 40 grams, and that of women should be less than 20 grams. , this is the "basic safe amount" of drinking for the human body. Generally, the safe drinking amount for women is 50% of that for men. That is to say, for a bottle of 750ml wine with an alcohol content of 12%, the optimal amount of drinking in a day should not exceed Half a bottle. Therefore, it is calculated that the optimal amount of red wine consumed by men per day is no more than 325ml, and the optimal amount of red wine consumed by women is 150mL.

2. Drinking time

It is best to drink red wine between 7:00 and 9:30 in the evening. During this time, the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase in the human liver is highest and it is easy to digest. If you remove alcohol too late, the hangover function of the liver will be reduced, and alcohol will easily accumulate in the body, which is not good for your health.

3. Pairing with food

When drinking red wine, it is best to pair it with food, because when drinking on an empty stomach, alcohol may directly irritate the stomach wall and cause gastritis. Pairing it with corresponding food can also bring out the flavor of red wine, such as Cabernet Sauvignon wine paired with steak.

As the saying goes, don’t be greedy for good wine. Moderate drinking of red wine is good for our body, but excessive drinking of red wine is not only useless but harmful to beauty and health.
