WINE AND
WOMEN
The benefits
of the wine were
recorded by the
researchers in 1991
report, according to
the report, French
had a heart
attack rate only
one third of
that of North
Americans. Wine consumption
may be partly
responsible for this
phenomenon, known as “ French
paradox.”.
The components in
grape skins, may be
responsible. They tend
to make the
blood less sticky
and less likely
to form clots. The
French habit of
drinking wine with
meals may provide
the small but
regular intake of
alchohol needed to
reduce clot formation, a
cause of most
heart attacks.
The art of
wine making is
more than 7,000
years old, the
process of fermentation
was not understood
until the discoveries
of Louis Pasteur
in the 19th century.
Numerous studies
show that moderate
consumption of alcohol
is associated with
lower risk of
heart disease. Wine
appears to contain
substances that slow
the rate of
alcohol absorption. It
is believed that
it has preventive
effect on several types
of cancer, including
colon and prostrate
cancer. The Laboratory
studies indicate that
the antocynanin pigments
and Tanins in
wine can fight
viruses. Tanins can
inhibit the growth
of plague forming
bacteria on the
teeth and may
protect against cavity
formation.
Over consumption
can increase the
risk of obesity,
stoke, breast cancer ,
high blood pressure,
as well as
alcoholism, and cirrhosis
and other liver
disorders. In addition
, heavy use
of alcohol in
early pregnancy can
cause birth defects.
Most wines contain
sulfites and preservatives
that can trigger allergic
reactions in susceptible
people. Wine, especially
red, is a
common trigger of
migranes. Red wine may help to slow the aging.
