According to the latest medical research results, drinking red wine regularly has at least four advantages.

The first is to delay aging: the human body, like metals, will gradually oxidize in nature. Metal oxidation is yellow rust caused by iron, and copper is patina. The culprit of human oxidation is not oxygen, but oxygen free radical, which is an active gene with unpaired electrons outside the nucleus. Unmatched electrons can easily cause chemical reactions, damage important biomolecules such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), protein, lipids, etc., and then affect the transport process of cell membrane, damage the functions of various tissues and organs, and promote the aging of the body.

Red wine contains a variety of antioxidants, such as phenols, tannins, flavonoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, trace elements selenium, zinc, manganese, etc., which can eliminate or fight oxygen free radicals, so it has the functions of anti-aging and disease prevention.

According to the survey, people living in wine-rich areas live longer because they have more opportunities to drink wine. The average life expectancy of farmers working in grape plantations is over 90 years old.

The second is to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: red wine can increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) in blood, and the role of HDL is to transport cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues to the liver for metabolism, so it can effectively reduce blood cholesterol and prevent atherosclerosis.

Moreover, polyphenols in red wine can inhibit platelet aggregation and prevent thrombosis. Although white wine also has anti-platelet aggregation effect, it will rebound after a few hours, making platelet aggregation more exciting than before drinking, while red wine has no such rebound phenomenon. After drinking 18 hours, platelet aggregation can still be continuously inhibited.

Third, cancer prevention: resveratrol contained in grape skin has the best anti-cancer performance among hundreds of plants that people often eat. It can prevent normal cells from becoming cancerous and inhibit the spread of cancer cells.

Resveratrol was added to cultured human leukemia cells, and it was found that these blood cancer cells lost their replication ability. Scientists have found resveratrol from more than 70 kinds of plants such as grapes, mulberry trees and peanuts, among which grape products have the highest content.

Among all kinds of wines, red wine has the highest content. Because red wine is made of pericarp, pulp, nuts and fruit stalks, and some wines are only made of pulp, red wine is a good product for cancer prevention.

Fourth, the role of beauty beauty: Since ancient times, red wine, as the best product in beauty beauty, has been loved by people. Some people say that French women have delicate, moist and elastic skin, which is related to frequent drinking of red wine.

Red wine can prevent aging, including delaying skin aging and making skin less wrinkled. In addition to drinking, many people like to apply red wine to their faces and body surfaces, because low concentration of fruit acid has anti-wrinkle and skin cleaning effects.

According to records, aged red wine used to be used by French court ladies, movie stars and fashion models to maintain the skin and make it more shiny, delicate and elastic.

Although drinking red wine has many benefits, the quantity is limited. Experts believe that drinking red wine, according to the alcohol content 12%, should not exceed 250 ml per day, otherwise it is harmful to health.
