Drinking red wine has found to have a positive effect on one’s long term physical condition. But specialists warn that no one should go for more than one or two glasses of wine – one for women, two for men – as the results might be quite the opposite.
Those “in charge” with improving your health are actually the anti-oxidants that can be found in the red wine and, quite predictably, not the alcohol. These substances are polyphenols, anthrocynidins, resveratrol and they are mainly present in grape skin, seeds and twigs. White wine, on the other hand, is not as efficient as the red type, since it is obtained mostly from the pressed juice of the fruit.
Besides its already proven anti-cancer results, it has also been discovered that resveratrol fights aging, too. It activates a protein called sirtuin, which restores the chromosomes suffering from the severe effects of aging. Drinking red wine has lots of other good results, as it prevents kidney stone formation, and diminishes the occurrence of Alzheimer’s disease. It can also be highly recommended to smokers, who suffer from a hardening of the blood vessels.
