First, the health care function

1, enhance appetite, and the bright colors and clear and transparent posture of wine are pleasing to the eye; Pour it into the cup, and the aroma of fruit and wine is fragrant; When tasting, the tannins in the wine are slightly astringent, which promotes appetite. All these make the human body in a comfortable and pleasant state, which is beneficial to physical and mental health.

2. Nourishing and anti-aging effects Wine contains sugar, amino acids, vitamins and minerals. These are all essential nutrients for human body. Without pre-digestion, it can be directly absorbed by human body. Especially for the infirm, drinking a proper amount of wine often is beneficial to the recovery of the body. Phenols and aldehyde elements in wine have the function of oxidants, which can prevent the damage of reactive oxygen species (such as DNA and RNA in cells) to human body, and are one of the factors leading to some degenerative diseases, such as cataract, cardiovascular disease, arteriosclerosis and aging. Therefore, drinking wine in moderation often has the effect of preventing aging and prolonging life.

3, the best table drink to help digest protein. Wine can stimulate gastric acid to secrete gastric juice, and every 60- 100g of wine can increase gastric juice secretion 120ml. Tannin in wine can increase the contraction of smooth muscle fibers in intestinal muscle system and regulate the function of colon. Has certain curative effect on colitis. Sweet white wine contains sorbitol, which helps digestion and prevents constipation.

4, the role of weight loss wine has the role of weight loss, each liter of dry wine contains 525 calories, these calories are only equivalent to the average daily calorie of the human body115. After drinking wine, it can be directly absorbed and digested by the human body, and it will be completely consumed within 4 hours without gaining weight. Therefore, people who often drink dry wine can not only supplement the water and various nutrients needed by the human body, but also help to lose weight.

5, diuretic effect In some wines, the content of potassium tartrate, potassium sulfate and potassium oxide is high, which has diuretic effect, can prevent edema and maintain acid-base balance in the body.

6. Sterilization Long ago, people realized the bactericidal effect of wine. For example, colds are common and frequently-occurring diseases, and antibacterial substances in wine can inhibit influenza viruses. The traditional method is to drink a glass of hot wine or a glass of red wine after heating, add an egg and stir, that is, stop heating and drink after cooling slightly. Studies show that the bactericidal effect of wine is because it contains antibacterial and bactericidal substances.

Second, the auxiliary therapeutic effect of wine on some diseases

1, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, proanthocyanidins in wine can stably form collagen fibers of various membranes, inhibit histidine decarboxylase, avoid producing too much histidine, reduce the permeability of blood vessel wall and prevent arteriosclerosis. According to the statistics of the American Medical Research Association, French and Italians who like to drink low-alcohol wine have the lowest death rate from heart disease, while Americans and Finns who drink more and drink less have a high death rate from heart disease.

2. The wine for preventing and treating cerebral thrombosis contains resveratrol, which is a plant antitoxin and has the effect of inhibiting platelet aggregation. Veratrum in wine exists in grape skin and is a taxonomic glycoside. It contains about 1 μ g/L in red wine, but only 0.2 μ g in white wine. Experiments show that even if red wine is diluted 1000 times, it can still effectively inhibit platelet aggregation, with an inhibition rate of 42%, which can reduce the occurrence of cerebral thrombosis.

3, can prevent kidney calculi German scientists found in the study, moderate drinking wine can prevent kidney calculi. Recently, medical scientists from the Medical Research Institute of Munich University pointed out that the traditional view that drinking more drinks can prevent kidney calculi is unscientific and incomplete, and the most important thing is to look at what kind of drinks to drink. Through the clinical observation of 45,000 healthy people and patients, the researchers confirmed that people who drink regularly and moderately are unlikely to get kidney calculi. Researchers found that people who drink different drinks in moderation have different risks of kidney calculi. People who drink a quarter liter of coffee every day have a 65,438+00% lower risk of kidney calculi than people who don't have this habit. Drinking black tea often is low14%; People who drink regularly have the least chance of developing kidney calculi, and their risk is 36% lower than those who are not used to drinking.

4. It can prevent breast cancer. Researchers at Illinois Pharmaceutical University found that grape skin has the strongest anticancer activity. American scientists have recently discovered that wine contains a chemical that can prevent breast cancer. Roy Wilhemlms of the San Francisco Wine Institute told a news conference in Washington that they found a substance in red wine and white wine that can prevent breast cancer. This substance has this effect because it can resist estrogen, which is associated with breast cancer.

5, can inhibit fat absorption Japanese scientists conducted clinical trials on people and found that red wine can inhibit fat absorption.

6, prevention and treatment of retinal degeneration Harvard University found that red wine can prevent macular degeneration (eye film). Macular degeneration is caused by the free of harmful oxygen molecules, which damages the macula in the body. Wine, especially red wine, contains resveratrol, a substance that can eliminate oxygen migration and protect the visual senses from it. Experiments have confirmed that people who often drink a small amount of red wine are 20% less likely to suffer from macular degeneration than those who don't drink.

7. It helps to improve memory. The experimental results published by scientists show that moderate drinking helps to improve the memory and learning ability of the brain. After a lot of experiments, two doctors from Milan University found that drinking wine in moderation can promote the brain to produce a certain amount of chemicals, which can promote the production of a memory related to nerve cells. According to the measurement, after drinking wine, the production of this kind of wine enhances the memory and learning ability of the brain compared with people who don't drink. Another doctor found that obese patients who drink alcohol properly during weight loss will maintain vigorous energy and will not be depressed because of dieting, which will lead to memory loss.

8. It can prevent colds. So far, there is no good strategy for influenza in the world. Influenza viruses are resistant to most drugs. But people find that people who drink a lot seldom catch a cold. This phenomenon attracted attention, and they added red liquor and grape juice to the virus culture solution for experiments. The results showed that common cold viruses such as herpes simplex virus and coxsackie virus could lose their vitality in wine and juice, and the juice extracted from grape skin was the best. Scientists believe that this is because grapes contain "phenol" compounds, which can form a thin film on the surface of the virus, making it difficult for it to enter human cells, thus achieving the effect of preventing and treating colds. Because "phenol" mainly exists in grape skins, drinking hot red wine when you have a cold can alleviate cold symptoms and prevent colds.
