Drinking red wine is good for cardiovascular?

Nowadays, many people are interested in red wine, and they can prevent high blood pressure, heart disease, and whitening. But does red wine really have such a magical effect?

Drinking red wine is good for cardiovascular?

Where does the saying that a cup of red wine can prevent heart disease every day come from?

The wine contains some phenolic compounds, such as flavonoids and tannins, especially proanthocyanidins and resveratrol, and of course a large part (about 10%) of alcohol. It is precisely because the red wine contains substances such as proanthocyanidins and resveratrol that the "magic health" function of red wine is created.

Is resveratrol so amazing?

Resveratrol is a biologically strong natural polyphenolic substance that has three major effects:

1. Reduce platelet aggregation

2. Prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis

3. Chemopreventive agents for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases

However, the role of resveratrol still needs more research

 1. The role of the human body is unknown: most of the research on resveratrol is based on animals, and it is still unclear whether it has the same effect on humans.

2. Short-term effectiveness: Studies have shown that resveratrol works only in a short period of time after drinking red wine, which may not last long in the long run.


Is red wine good for the heart?

A number of animal experiments have shown that when resveratrol is used at a dose between 250 and 500 mg, it can prevent arteriosclerosis in mice.


When converted to the human body, the daily intake of resveratrol is at least 2g. The content of resveratrol in red wine is 1~16.3mg/L, and the capacity of a bottle of wine is 750ml, so if you want to reach the effective dose, you need to drink 120~160 bottles!

Drinking to prevent heart disease, is it worthwhile?

Some studies have shown that moderate drinking is good for heart health. These studies suggest that alcohol has the following benefits:

1. Improve "good cholesterol", which is the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol;
2, alcohol can reduce the formation of blood clots;
3. Prevent "bad cholesterol", which is low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, causing damage to blood vessels;
4. Change your blood pressure.

But drinking is easy to addictive, and if you don't pay attention, it will be excessive. If you drink alcohol or alcohol, the risk of certainty is far greater than the uncertainty.
