Wine can prevent and treat colds.

So far, there is no good strategy for influenza in the world, because the influenza virus is resistant to most drugs. But the study found that people who drink wine often 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 would 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.

2. Wine and prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases

Proanthocyanidins in wine can stably form collagen fibers of various membranes, inhibit histidine decarboxylation and avoid? Produce too much histamine, reduce the permeability of blood vessel wall and prevent arteriosclerosis. In addition, the risk of death from proanthocyanidin infarction. 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.

3. The preventive and therapeutic effects of alcohol on cerebral thrombosis.

Wine contains resveratrol, which is a plant antitoxin and can inhibit platelet aggregation. Veratrum in wine exists in grape skin, which is a new grape? Glucagon contains about 1 microgram per liter in red wine, but only 0.2 microgram 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.

4. Wine can prevent and treat kidney calculi.

German scientists found in their research that moderate drinking of 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.

5. Alcohol can prevent breast cancer.

The latest experimental results show that wine has a strong inhibitory effect on cancer by feeding mice that induce cancer. Researchers from Illinois Pharmaceutical University chose mulberry, peanut and grape skin-the strongest anticancer activity. American scientists have recently discovered that wine contains a chemical that can prevent breast cancer. Williams 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.

6, red wine to prevent retinal degeneration.

Harvard University found that red wine can prevent macular degeneration. 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. Alcohol helps to improve memory.

The experimental results published by scientists show that moderate drinking helps to improve brain memory and learning ability. 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. Alcohol can inhibit fat absorption.

Japanese scientists found that red wine can inhibit fat absorption, and some mice did experiments. After drinking wine for a period of time, mice found that the absorption rate of fat in the intestine slowed down, and the same conclusion was reached in clinical trials on people.

9. Wine can resist oxidation and delay aging.

Procyanidins (OPC) in wine is an internationally recognized and most effective natural antioxidant for scavenging free radicals in human body. The ability to resist free radical oxidation is 50 times that of vitamin E and 20 times that of vitamin C, and the absorption is rapid and thorough. Resveratrol in wine is a natural antioxidant, which can delay aging.

10. Wine helps digestion

In the stomach, 60- 100g wine can increase the output of normal gastric juice by 120ml (containing free hydrochloric acid 1g). Wine is conducive to the assimilation of protein; Tannin in red wine can increase the contractility of smooth muscle fibers in intestinal muscle system. Therefore, wine can regulate the function of colon and has certain curative effect on colitis. Sweet white wine contains potassium sorbate, which contributes to the secretion of bile and pancreas. Therefore, wine can help digestion and prevent constipation.
