With the upsurge of red wine getting higher and higher, now no matter which class or gender, it will be related to red wine. Some people like to enjoy it alone, some people regard it as a fashion taste, and some people simply regard it as a daily table drink. Nowadays, many people drink red wine, which can not only reflect their taste in life and social status, but also can not be separated from the role of red wine in lowering cholesterol. But there is an old saying: wine is enterotoxic, so who is right or wrong, is red wine good or bad for health?
Unique efficacy of red grape skin
In fact, the reason why red wine is related to health care is that the peel of Bai Quan red grape contains a unique enzyme, which can transform polyphenols in the peel into chemical molecules with antioxidant capacity. This antioxidant can prevent the oxidation of cholesterol LDL in arteries, thus reducing the incidence of heart disease. The most important antioxidant in red wine, especially dry red wine, is magical resveratrol, and the rest are gallic acid, catechin and epicatechin, which exist not only in red wine, but also in green tea, cocoa, chocolate and other plants.
Health care function of red wine
At present, many studies show that resveratrol has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antithrombotic and hypolipidemic effects. It has a preventive effect on two major diseases that affect human health at present, namely tumor and heart disease. Scientists believe that it can reduce the damage of free radicals to blood vessels in the body, thus reducing the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, the lower the cell oxidation rate, the lower the DNA damage, so there is also a saying that red wine can fight cancer. In addition, moderate drinking can relax and dilate blood vessels, achieve the effect of relieving blood pressure and keep the heart healthy. This effect is not unique to red wine. Any alcohol can dilate blood vessels.
Alcohol can also harm the liver.
For people who like to drink red wine, they often regard alcohol as a relaxing agent, but in addition to polyphenols and a small amount of vitamins C, B 1, B2 and B 12 from raisin grapes, red wine also contains alcohol, which can be directly absorbed by the stomach without digestion. The absorbed alcohol will be sent to the liver for decomposition, so long-term drinking will cause damage to the stomach wall and liver. Alcohol that the liver can't handle will evaporate through pores and breathing, resulting in alcohol smell.
Drinking rules of healthy red wine
Facing the double-edged sword of red wine, how can we make the best use of it without being harmed? Set an old-fashioned answer-that is, "the right amount."

Men drink up to 3 -4 glasses of red wine at a time, women drink up to 1 -2 glasses at a time, and drink up to 3 -4 times a week; Second, drink red wine and try to avoid eating fried and greasy food at the same time; Third, in addition to red wine, you must take enough vitamins and balanced nutrition every day.
