There are three properties do great food and the food is only one of them.
Of course the food is tasty, but let's not forget the importance of good company and good wine. Scientific research suggests that wine is not just a key to good food, but it is also good for us.
This means that the next time, we can sit down to eat with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon, we improve our health and our prosperity?
The notion that wine is good for our health is already for some time, but they found the scientific basis in the 1990s. It was on Sunday, 17. November 1991, a French scientist from the University of Bordeaux, Serge Renaud, announced on the popular American television news program, 60 minutes, his countrymen a fondness for drinking wine represented their low rate of death from heart disease. In the following four weeks of wine sales in America rose by 44%. The wine is now a tonic health.
The health benefits of wine are a bit more complicated than Dr. Renaud originally formulated. Firstly, it is important to remember that alcohol can have several very serious adverse effects on health and society. When in surplus, the wine, such as other alcoholic beverages, may weaken the immune system, increases the risk of certain types of cancer and damage to the liver and the brain. Wine (specifically red wine), however, believed to have beneficial properties.
Serge Renaud original research pointed out that coronary heart disease is typically associated with a high intake of saturated fats in most countries. It seems that the situation in France, where they are much lower than many similarly developed countries like the United Kingdom, despite the French eat a lot of cheese, the number of deaths from heart disease-pie "and pudding. Dr. Reynaud called this particular situation, the "French Paradox". His original research has shown that alcohol is the blood of the Haemostatic mechanism worked, so the wine correctly the harmony of the blood.
From Renaud in the landmark piece of research was the vast amount of research in the field of health wine. Do you feel sometimes as new study is published every couple of weeks, alternately called a wine or alcohol is collected the panacea or deeply dangerous substances. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle of wine drunk in moderation can be part of a healthy diet. So certainly we don't have to feel guilty picking up a delicious, fruit bottles of Merlot, the next time we go to Marks and Spencer. But what is the wine, contributing to its health, and the properties?
The health benefits of wine are largely assumed that lies in antioxidants. Today, we're all probably antioxidant crazy. Their benefits are protected in magazines, on television and on the packaging of food, but what are these mysterious to you guys? Very briefly, the antioxidants are substances that protect our cells from the effects of free radicals. Free radicals have nothing in common with anarchism, but they are molecules, which are harmful to our bodies. Antioxidants are found in fresh fruit and vegetables, as well as some fish and meat. Foods with higher than normal concentration of antioxidants are known as "super food". In short, antioxidants are good for you, and are located in the wine.
Antioxidants originally found in the wine originate from grapes, which are made of. Type antioxidants in grapes and wine are polyphenol antioxidants, which are also found in green tea and cocoa, among others. Of the most important antioxidants in wine is resveratrol, which is concentrated in the skins of grapes. This means that red wine, which, with its color and taste of the grape skins, has more resveratrol than white wine. So, red wine, in particular health.
One of the most important benefits of antioxidants in wine is their properties for the prevention of cancer. One study published in the journal The International Journal of cancer in 2004 found that drinking a glass or two of red wine daily can half that rate of prostate cancer. This may have something to do with the resveratrol in wine, as a more recent study suggests. In 2008, scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center have found that the cells and pancreas were killed after they were pre-treated resveratrol and radiation.
After returning to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), colleague, Serge Renaud, found Dr. Michel de Lorgeril, in the framework of the study published in 2002, that moderate red wine drinking, reduce the risk of second heart attack. This may be related to the existence of a group of chemical substances in red wine known as saponins. Found in the skins of grapes, as well as olive oil and soya bean, blocking absorption of cholesterol saponins.
The Existence of saporins was found in red wine, Andrew Waterhouse, Professor of Enology (wine chemistry) at University of California, Davis, who also found that the quantity of the chemical, which varied the grapes. Among Red wines tested team in the Davis, red Petite Sirah was found to be the highest level of saporins Syrah, the second highest. Then the Pinot noir and Cabernet Sauvignon, which was about the same amount. White wine was much less saporin.
Despite these seemingly advantageous chemical in red wine have been increased problems with the French Paradox. She was called into question the usefulness of the health of the French style (it's not healthy and coronary disease are under reported or will eat more truly unhealthy food, in particular with transfats)-and point to other factors, which could be of benefit to the health of the French (currently eat less transfats and get more sunlight, which increases the vitamin d and is good for the arteries).
All science, is there any difference of opinion, however, seems to be a good reason to believe that drinking red wine in moderation is good for you and your well-being. There's nothing like sitting around and laughing with friends over a good meal and a glass of good wine. It's so good for the soul.
It is good for wine lovers among us, so a toast to good news. Make sure it's only a single glass (or two for special occasions), but it is giving away another drink to look forward to tomorrow.
