People have been drinking wine for thousands of years, and the benefits are well documented. Emerging research continues to suggest that drinking wine in moderation—about a glass a day—offers several benefits.
This article explains everything you need to know about the health benefits of drinking wine.
Potential benefits of drinking wine
There are several benefits of drinking a glass of wine.
Rich in antioxidants
There are many foods and drinks rich in antioxidants and wine is one of them.
Антиоксидантите са съединения, които предотвратяват клетъчното увреждане, причинено от възпаление и оксидативен стрес. Оксидативният стрес е състояние, причинено от дисбаланс между антиоксиданти и нестабилни молекули, наречени свободни радикали, които могат да увредят вашите клетки.
Grapes have high levels of polyphenols, which are antioxidants and have been shown to reduce oxidative stress.
Тъй като червеното грозде е с по-голямо съдържание на антиоксиданти от белите сортове грозде, пиенето на червено вино може да повиши нивата на антиоксиданти в кръвта ви в по-голяма степен, отколкото бялото.
In fact, a two-week study in 40 adults found that consuming 400 ml. red wine daily increases antioxidant status.
Higher antioxidant status is associated with reduced disease risk. For example, drinking red wine is associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, which are linked to oxidative stress.
It can help fight inflammation
Wine contains compounds that have anti-inflammatory properties.
Хроничното възпаление е вредно и може да увеличи риска от състояния като сърдечни заболявания, автоимунни разстройства и някои видове crab. Ето защо е най-добре да предотвратите възможно най-много този тип възпаление.
Chronic inflammation can be reduced through diet, stress reduction and exercise.
Many foods have the power to reduce inflammation, and wine is considered one of them.
Studies show that a compound called resveratrol in wine has anti-inflammatory properties and may have health benefits.
One study in 4,461 adults showed that moderate wine consumption was associated with a reduced inflammatory response. Those who consumed up to 40 grams of alcohol per day experienced less inflammation than those who did not drink.
What's more, in a study involving 2,900 women, those who consumed a glass of wine daily had significantly reduced inflammatory markers compared to women who abstained from alcohol.
It may benefit heart health
Studies show that people who consume moderate amounts of wine have a reduced rate of heart disease.
Изследователите смятат, че високата концентрация на полифенолни антиоксиданти в червеното вино може да помогне за намаляване на риска от високо кръвно налягане, висок холестерол и метаболитни заболявания.
Some research suggests that drinking red wine can lower blood pressure in people with high blood pressure, which can reduce the risk of heart disease.
However, we should note that excessive alcohol consumption can have negative effects on heart health, including increased blood pressure and a higher risk of developing heart disease.
Other benefits
Drinking wine in moderation may also have other benefits:
Може да има полза за психичното здраве Една чаша вино може да намали риска от депресия. Въпреки това, прекомерното пиене може да има обратен ефект, като ви излага на по-висок риск от това състояние.
May promote longevity. Studies have found that drinking moderate amounts of wine as part of a healthy diet can increase longevity, thanks to wine's high antioxidant content.
May Promote Healthy Gut Bacteria Recent studies even suggest that red wine may promote the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which may improve markers of metabolic syndrome in obese people затлъстяване
