In Vino Veritas... meaning In Wine Truth or literally translated... Truth In Wine. Here are a few tidbits I found that support my love of wine... enjoy! - For women, wine has been discovered to lower the risk of ovarian cancer, promote stronger bones, and decrease the risk of getting a stroke.
- For men, wine has been seen to decrease the risk of cardiac arrest for men with hypertension.
- The skin of red grapes have been found to have certain anti-aging properties that can also be obtained through red wine.
- White wine contains certain anti-oxidants that have been observed to improve the function of the lungs.
- Wine drinking has been discovered to reduce the occurrence of coronary heart disease among adults.
- Senior-aged individuals who have been regular wine drinkers were seen to have blood vessels that are healthier than those who are not.
- Drinking wine has been seen to reduce certain types of gastrointestinal bacteria, the top cause of ulcer.
- Polyphenols, a substance also found in the skin of red grapes was discovered to clean arteries of stroke causing clots.
The studies shown here were conducted on people who had prolonged but moderate wine consumption. Most researchers have seen the benefits of wine amongst people who drink one or two glasses everyday.
