body+soul tell us 3 good reasons to drink red wine – OK!
It is not as if we need reasons to drink alcohol, especially when the weather starts to dip, and a comforting drop of wine is all that will hit the spot. But body+soul.com.au have dug up 3 good reasons for drinking red wine approved by the health experts!
1) HEART HEALTH
Canadian and US analysts recently reviewed 84 alcohol studies to come to the conclusion that drinking a small amount of alcohol reduces the overall risk of death from cardiovascular causes by 15 to 25 per cent.
“People that drink a moderate amount of wine regularly, particularly with food, have a 30 per cent reduced risk of heart diseases.”
2) CANCER
Stockley, a clinical pharmacologist with 20 years experience at the AWRI, says drinking red wine has also been proven to reduce the risk of several types of cancer.
“Alcohol is a risk factor for certain cancers, but we also know wine reduces the risk of other cancers like bowel and lung cancer and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.”
3) ELIXIR OF LIFE
Having a drink doesn’t necessarily spell killed brain cells, if drunk in moderation, red wine can actually improve cognitive function say the experts.
“Drinking red wine appears to reduce or prevent the decrease in your ability to think, reason and remember,”
So, there you have it. Don’t feel guilty about a sip or two of red wine this winter!
