5 REASONS WHY RED WINE MAY BE HEALTHY FOR YOU

Red wine is a type of wine made from dark-colored grape varieties. In moderation, it has long been thought of as heart healthy. The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks.

REGULATES BLOOD SUGAR Resveratrol, a naturally occurring compound included in grape skin used to make wine, is beneficial for diabetics in controlling their blood sugar levels. A study found that participants who took resveratrol pills once daily for three months had lower blood glucose levels than those who didn't.

LOWERS THE RISK OF CANCER When drank consistently and in moderation, red wine can greatly reduce the risk of getting several cancers, such as colon, prostate, and ovarian cancer. Researchers gave resveratrol to human cancer cells and found that it interferes with a protein that promotes the formation of the disease.

LOWERS BAD CHOLESTEROL A study found that the high-fibre Tempranillo red grapes used to manufacture some types of red wines reduces levels of harmful cholesterol.

MAINTAINS HEART HEALTH Red wine contains a particular class of antioxidants called polyphenols that keep the blood arteries flexible and avoid unintended clotting.

GOOD FOR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM If you drink red wine, you are less likely to get infected by Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium in the stomach. Red wines' antibacterial properties have made it possible for them to be used to treat digestive ailments like stomach problems and stomach irritation.
