On a hot summer evening, it is so pleasant to drink a glass of light wine. It not only refreshes, but also has many beneficial properties. There is even a separate concept of enotherapy - wine treatment.
The benefits of wine
The composition of substances beneficial to the body depends not only on the color of the wine, but also on its aging. Thanks to the oak barrels in which the red wines are aged, the drink contains a large amount of tannins, which impart some astringency to the taste. They saturate the human body with essential amino acids and vitamins. Drinking red wine reduces the likelihood of recurrent heart attacks and also helps prevent cancer. In addition, red wine is an excellent antioxidant and biostimulant that helps restore blood in case of anemia.
During the cold season, red wine will help against colds. To do this, warm up a glass of red wine, add cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg and a teaspoon of honey to it - the antiviral drink is ready.
People prone to diseases of the cardiovascular system are advised to consume white wine. It helps blood vessels restore elasticity, which reduces the risk of thrombosis. In addition, white wines are rich in B vitamins and organic acids that stimulate the digestive system.
Another beneficial property of white wine is its beneficial effect on brain function: it improves memory, perception and mental acuity. Therefore, we can say that the use of white wines contributes to the prevention of Alzheimer's disease.
Wine can also be beneficial when used topically. Masks, wraps and wine baths will help solve the problem of cellulite. Nowadays, wine massage and wine peeling are becoming more and more popular.
Everything is good in moderation
Certainly, the medicinal properties of wine will be beneficial if consumed in reasonable quantities. It is better to drink wine with meals, no more than 150 ml per day. Many doctors recommend diluting wine with water. It is worth remembering that red wine is undesirable for asthmatics, as it contains a preservative - sulfur dioxide.
You can not drink wine for people with gastritis or stomach ulcers, mental disorders, as well as migraines. It is highly undesirable to drink wine for pregnant and breastfeeding women. This drink also has a negative effect on those who seek to lose excess weight. Wine is good for your health, but it should be taken as a medicine that can be taken in limited doses.
