Today on the #Winewednesday we are having a discussion on twitter with all the winelovers in Kenya. We are talking about red wine. So get tweeting. Anytime you ask a question with #WineinKenya, I will be here to answer it. 🙂
I have been trying to justify the health benefits of red wine. My family was not one to take wine after dinner but this is a great culture. In Kenya, few people take wine at home. It is a good idea to take at least a glass of wine everyday. What are the benefits of red wine, you ask?
Why Red Wine?
- Red wine has a chemical called resveratrol that is heart healthy.Red wine also has antioxidants that keep heart diseases at bay and protecting against artery damage.
- Red wine has heart-healthy benefits than the other types of alcohol like beer, vodka, gin, rum etc.
- Antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols may help protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart.
- Assuming that a four ounce glass is one serving, women ought to consume one serving while men ought to consume two servings. This is the optimum amount of wine per day.
- Having a glass does not entirely mean that you kill the brain cells,. When people drink red wine in moderation, it can improve the brain and cognitive functions.
