Hypertensive patients are often worried about the effect of wine on blood vessels, because the level of a person's blood pressure depends on their expansion or contraction. Some doctors recommend drinking a glass of red wine a day because it has many beneficial properties - but how will blood vessels react to it?
Effect of wine on blood pressure
Red wine is indeed capable of affecting blood pressure, but its effect is quite indirect, since the vascular tone in any case changes during intoxication. Wine is able to slightly reduce pressure by expanding blood vessels and reducing their tone, relaxing and making them soft. As a result, blood passes through them freely, without fighting resistance, which stabilizes the pressure and brings its readings back to normal.
Red wine contains almost all chemical compounds and amino acids necessary for the body that affect metabolism, development and regeneration of cells.
In addition, alcohol can increase the heart rate - at the same time, blood rapidly passes through the ventricles of the heart, which do not have time to push it out, and blood pressure decreases. However, at the same time, the proper amount of blood ceases to fully flow to certain parts of the body - most often to the limbs. The narrowing or dilation of blood vessels when drinking red wine depends on the dose of alcohol consumed, the frequency of drinking it and the person's age. In other words, the higher the dose, the less the pressure-lowering effect.
Expansion and narrowing of blood vessels
Red wine dilates blood vessels in small quantities, and with its regular metered use, the blood vessels are literally washed out, getting rid of harmful cholesterol. To narrow blood vessels and increase their tone, you can use red or white dry wine, diluted with table mineral water in a 1: 2 ratio.
The optimal amount of wine needed for a healing effect is one hundred grams, drunk with dinner.
Also, red wine contains a large amount of magnesium, which is necessary for the work of the heart, iron and chromium, which helps the body to synthesize fatty acids, as well as zinc and rubidium, which contains B vitamins and is able to remove radioactive elements from the body. In addition, red wine perfectly restores the strength of the weakened or sick people, increases the general tone and immunity of the body.
The antioxidant properties of red wine, in turn, inhibit the functioning and development of cancer cells, being a deterrent to their appearance. Naturally, to achieve such an effect, you need to use natural and high-quality, and not cheap red wine from powder.
