Coronary heart disease spread has brought great concern to people. The decision to consume fat free food is a crucial step to prevent oneself from heart diseases. One such item to be included in the menu is red wine. Drinking alcohol is unhealthy, is an old myth which has been proved wrong after the French Paradox Theory of 1992 which states that consumption of red wine will not have an impact on the health and is also proved to dissolve the fat consumed through rich food.

Benefits Of Red Wine On Heart -

Red wine is made of grapes and consists of natural antioxidants like HDL (good Cholesterol) which reduce the mortality rate and stress. Several heart diseases occur due to fat and bad cholesterol which block blood flow to the heart thus leading to attacks. But red wine which is made naturally can help protect your heart from diseases.

Many studies have suggested that moderate consumption of wine for people above 30 helps the heart from blockage and controls blood pressure too. It is said to clear blood vessels and stop the damage due to fat deposits in the body. Grapes consists of resveratrol, fluid phenolics which prevent clotting of blood.

Studies on Beer, spirits and wine have shown that all the three have health benefits but wine has overwhelming benefits when compared to others.

Although pregnant women are often advised not to consume alcohol at all. It is said to affect the foetus and can lead to breathing problems. However, a glass of wine is considered healthy for them as they are rich source of antioxidants (as much as the grape juice in wine).

To summarize, it can be said that wine has benefits on heart but studies are still on. Though it is good for health, anything excess is undoubtedly harmful to the body. Alcohol can lead to addiction and can cause killer diseases like cancer. Moderate consumption (like 1 or 2 glasses) daily is always safe so don't think twice the next time you want to raise a toast with the ancient drink, the aromatic “Grape Wine".
