What are the benefits of red wine?

Red wine has been considered beneficial to health by different civilisations throughout history. In fact, in recent years, science has confirmed some beneficial properties.

However, the key is moderation. For most people, 1-2 glasses of red wine a day can be part of a healthy diet, but no more. Nevertheless, consuming too much wine can cause more harm than good.

Let’s look at some of its benefits:

1. It prevents heart diseases

First of all, the high concentration of polyphenols and vitamin E in red wine helps to keep the blood and blood vessels clean, although it does not cure diseases.

2. It increases Omega 3 levels

Regular consumers of wine (in moderation) have a higher concentration of Omega 3 fatty acids in the blood, an essential element for the correct functioning of the organism.

3. It prevents arthrosis

According to some studies, the risk of contracting rheumatoid arthritis decreases by 50% with moderate consumption of red wine.

4. It reduces the risk of cancer

Many properties of red wine are due to its antioxidants. These are useful for reducing the risk of suffering from cancer, especially colon, breast or lung cancer.

5. It slows down ageing

In addition, it is possible to slow down ageing through a healthy lifestyle. Resveratrol, which is linked to longevity, is concentrated in the skin of red grapes.

6. It protects the skin

Besides, the benefits for the skin lie in flavonoids, which are found in grapes and wine. They help to reduce the negative effects of UV exposure.

7. Happier life

Further mores, red wine is linked to an increase in endorphins: a natural substance with the ability to relieve pain and lead a happier life.

8. It is a booster for our brain

At the same time, you can prevent degenerative brain diseases and dementia by drinking red wine (in moderation).

9. It prevents blindness-causing diseases

Finally, wine can stop angiogenesis (opening of new blood vessels in the eye area) which leads to the development of blindness.
