Red wine heart-healthy?



Wine although it seems that the evidence than other types of alcohol, such as beer, white wine or liquor more conducive to heart health, but is now able to support this view is not sufficient.

Red wine contains antioxidants resveratrol (aka trihydroxystibene), the benefits of this substance is to protect the blood vessels, lowering bad cholesterol and prevent blood clots. Researchers experiment with mice, we found that this substance can prevent obesity and diabetes, two important risk factors for heart disease are. However, this finding only limited to mice, did not relate to humans. And, in order to obtain a test dose mice equal trihydroxystibene day need to drink up to 60 liters of wine per person.

Trihydroxystibene red wine from the grape skins. In the brewing process, the skins of red wine fermentation time is longer than white wine, which contains more trihydroxystibene. Some experts also recommended the adoption of grapes, grape juice drink non-alcoholic way to intake trihydroxystibene. Because red grape juice and purple grape juice may have on the heart health benefits of red wine equivalent.

There are some foods, such as peanuts, blueberries, also contain trihydroxystibene. It is not clear grapes, red wine, or other food supplements Which is more conducive to heart health because of changes in food and wine trihydroxystibene content too.

One can also try using trihydroxystibene supplements. Although the study has not yet been found side effects of this supplement, but most of trihydroxystibene can not be absorbed by the body.

The potential benefits of red wine on the heart seem quite prospects. Moderate alcohol, including red wine seems to be so reduced risk of heart disease, but also the need for further study to determine whether it is wine, beer and spirits, such as better than other types of alcoholic beverages.

However, neither the American Heart Association (AHA), or the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, do not advise people to drink away just to prevent heart disease. Because alcohol may be addictive, or so drinkers deteriorating health in other areas. In other words, this is likely to be a matter more harm than good.

For example, drinking too much can increase blood pressure, high cholesterol, liver damage, obesity, certain types of cancer and the risk of long-term heavy drinking can lead to cardiac weakness, namely heart if there have health problems, you should be completely quit if you need to take aspirin daily, you should drink less women can not drink during pregnancy.

If you already drink red wine, so remember to be moderate. Moderate alcohol consumption means that an average of two drinks per day for Men (glass of 148 ml), and a glass of wine women. Alcohol consumption in men could be larger, because men are usually larger and have more weight enzyme capable of metabolizing alcohol.
