Red Wine and Longevity

Red Wine and Longevity

.Why Red Wine?:
The benefits of red wine (in moderation) for
health have been known for ages. In an effort
to understand the 'French Paradox' (why French
people can indulge in fatty foods but not develop
heart disease) red wine came into focus in 1991
on an episode of '60 Minutes'. Since then, scientist
have been feeding components of red wine to mice
and other animals in an attempt to understand the
full health benefits.

Here's what we know so far:

.Flavanoids and Antioxidants:
Red wine is high in flavonoids (a type of
polyphenol), which are antioxidants. One of
the most studied antioxidants is resveratrol,
which comes from grape skins and seeds.
Antioxidants help prevent certain molecules,
known as free radicals, from damaging cells.

.Does red wine prevent cancer?:
Resveratrol helps prevent cancer by limiting
tumor growth.

.How much should I drink?:
To receive the benefits of red wine, it must
be drunk in moderation (1-2 glasses maximum per day)
and regularly.

.Does the alcohol help?:
The alcohol in wine may help produce more good
cholesterol.

.What if I am a yeast cell?:
Good news: Research in yeast cells has shown
that red wine can increase life span by 80%.

.But can it cure the common cold?:
Red wine has also been shown to help prevent the
common cold.

.Red wine and French fries:
Red wine, when consumed with fried foods, may
limit the damage caused.

Conclusion:
Hundreds of studies show evidence that red wine,
in moderation, is good for us. So go ahead and enjoy
a glass or two with dinner.
