The benefits of drinking dry red wine

Red wine contains a lot of polybasic acid, so people have always believed that red wine has an excellent effect on preventing cardiovascular diseases, helping to prevent diseases such as arteriosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease, and also has important functions such as reducing the risk of osteoporosis and "preserving color". Drinking red wine, like other types of alcohol, should be moderate. If the amount is too large, it is very bad for the heart and can cause alcoholic myocarditis. In fact, alcohol is absolutely bad for the brain, liver, and pancreas.

Effects and functions of dry red wine

Increase appetite

The bright color and clear and transparent appearance of wine are pleasing to the eye; when poured into the glass, the fruity aroma is strong; when tasting, the tannins in the wine are slightly astringent, which stimulates appetite. All of these make the human body comfortable and euphoric, which is beneficial to physical and mental health.

Tonic effect

Wine contains sugar, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. These are essential nutrients for the human body. It can be directly absorbed by the human body without pre-digestion. Especially for the weak, drinking a moderate amount of wine regularly is beneficial to restore health. The phenolic substances and oligoelement in wine have the function of anti-oxidants, which can prevent the reactive oxygen (ROS) produced in the human body's metabolism from harming the human body (such as damage to DNA and RNA in cells). These harms are one of the factors leading to some degenerative diseases, such as cataracts, cardiovascular diseases, arteriosclerosis, and aging. Therefore, drinking a moderate amount of wine regularly has the effect of preventing aging and prolonging life.

Aids digestion

Wine contains various organic acids and has a mild sour taste. This sour taste is close to the acidity of human body acid (PH2-2.5), which is the suitable condition for protein digestion. Therefore, wine is the best beverage to accompany protein. Wine can stimulate gastric acid to secrete gastric juice. Every 60-100 grams of wine can increase gastric juice secretion by 120 ml. Tannin in wine can increase the contraction of smooth muscle fibers in the intestinal muscle system and adjust the function of the colon. It has a certain effect on colitis. Sweet white wine contains sorbitol, which helps digestion and prevents constipation.

Weight loss effect

Wine can help you lose weight. Each liter of dry wine contains 525 calories, which is only 1/15 of the average daily calorie requirement of the human body. After drinking, the wine can be directly absorbed and digested by the human body and consumed within 4 hours without causing weight gain. Therefore, people who drink dry wine regularly can not only replenish the water and various nutrients needed by the human body, but also help lose weight.

Diuretic effect

Some white wines contain high levels of potassium tartrate, potassium sulfate and potassium oxide, which have a diuretic effect, can prevent edema and maintain the acid-base balance in the body.

Bactericidal effect

People have known about the bactericidal effect of wine for a long time. For example, cold is a common disease, and the antibacterial substances in wine have an inhibitory effect on influenza virus. The traditional way is to drink a glass of hot wine or heat a glass of red wine, beat an egg into it, stir it, stop heating, and drink it after it cools down a little.
