A glass of red wine a day keeps the doctor away
Is red wine the fountain of youth or a potent poison? Is enjoying a
glass of red wine with dinner each evening beneficial to your health?
Current research suggests that a glass of red wine each day may be
providing you with more than just a little relaxation.
What are the health benefits of drinking red wine?
For over 10 years, research has indicated that moderate intake of
alcohol improves cardiovascular health. In fact, in 1992 Harvard
researchers included moderate alcohol consumption as one of the "eight
proven ways to reduce coronary heart disease risk." However, research
has suggested that specifically red wine is the most beneficial to
your heart health. The cardioprotective effect has been attributed to
antioxidants present in the skin and seeds of red grapes.
Scientists believe the antioxidants, called flavonoids, reduce the
risk of coronary heart disease in three ways:
* by reducing production of low density lipoprotein (LDL)
cholesterol (also know as the "bad" cholesterol)
* by boosting high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the good
cholesterol)
* by reducing blood clotting. Furthermore, consuming a glass of
wine along with a meal may favorably influence your lipid profiles
following that meal
Recently, researchers have found that moderate red wine consumption
may be beneficial to more than just your heart. One study found that
the antioxidant resveratrol, which is prevalent in the skin of red
grapes, may inhibit tumor development in some cancers. Another study
indicated that resveratrol aided in the formation of nerve cells,
which experts believe may be helpful in the treatment of neurological
diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Which wines should you consume to reap the most benefits?
Researchers at the University of California, at Davis tested a variety
of wines to determine which types have the highest concentrations of
flavonoids. Their results concluded that the flavonoid favorite is
Cabernet Sauvignon, followed closely by Petit Syrah and Pinot Noir.
Both Merlots and red zinfandels have fewer flavonoids than their more
potent predecessors. White wine had significantly smaller amounts than
the red wine varieties. The bottom line is the sweeter the wine, the
fewer the flavonoids. Dryer red wines are your best bet for a
flavonoid boost.
How much red wine should I drink?
A four-ounce glass of wine is equivalent to one serving. Men will
benefit from consuming one to two servings per day. Women should
consume only one serving per day to reap the maximum benefits. This is
not to say that you should start drinking alcohol if you presently do
not. Occasional or binge drinkers have higher mortality rates than
those who drink moderately on a regular basis. In those who consume
three or more drinks per day, there is an increased risk for elevated
serum triglycerides (fat in the bloodstream). Long-term, excessive
alcohol consumption can damage nerve cells, the liver and the
pancreas. Heavy drinkers are also at risk for malnutrition, as alcohol
may substitute for more nutritious foods.
What if I have other health problems?
Recommendations to consume moderate amounts of wine are limited to
individuals with a clean bill of health. It is clear that people with
medical and social conditions worsened by alcohol should not consume
any alcohol at all. Hypertryglyceridemia, pancreatitis, liver disease,
uncontrolled hypertension, depression and congestive heart failure are
diseases that may be worsened by alcohol. Those individuals at risk
for these conditions should consult with their physician before
consuming any alcohol at all.
What about grape juice and non alcoholic red wine?
In 1997, researchers at the University of Wisconsin concluded that
purple grape juice also reduced blood clotting. Another study by
researchers at University of California at Davis, confirmed the
findings that non alcoholic red wine contains the same antioxidant
profile as red wine. However in a 1998 study, Japanese researchers
found that while grape juice still had antioxidative benefits, it did
not significantly lower LDL cholesterol levels compared to red wine.
The debate continues on whether it is the components of the wine, the
way the wine is consumed, or the lifestyle traits that is the most
responsible for the long healthy lives of many wine drinkers. However,
the evidence seems clear that regular, moderate consumption of red
wine is beneficial to your health. So here's a toast to your health!
Cheers!
