Health and moderate wine consumption
Part III
Curhan of Harvard University (6) reported that red wine reduces by 39% the risk of kidney stones, in a large study in which the effects of red wine compared with another series of 21 different types of beverages and the beneficial effect of red wine far exceeded the other drinks (8).
Someone might ask me whether the beneficial effects of wine do not extend to all of them, including pink and white. Yes, but less, as called polyphenolic antioxidants, which I will discuss later, are found in high concentrations in the skin of grapes, the seeds and the raspajos, fermentation and maceration is responsible deliberate. This release is enhanced by mechanical activation techniques (traced) or shake (bazuqueado).
The same is true of so-called healthy dietary fiber (SDF), the third major component of wine after water and alcohol, the amount is significantly higher in red wines. SDS soluble fibers are indigestible polysaccharides, polyphenols associated with its parent. Detection was made possible by enzymatic treatments and the use of dialysis. The amount of FDS is 0.2 g / l in white, 1 g / l in red and reaches 1.4 g in the red wines of the Monastrell variety, characteristic of Jumilla (7).
Dr. Waterhouse (35,36), a researcher at the University of California, says that wine is one of the best sources of polyphenols and antioxidants available to humans.
In general, it can be considered that the daily alcohol intake should not exceed 40 grams, divided into the main meals, making for a red wine from the 12th, a daily amount means less than 400 ml for men. Women must not exceed 300 ml per day.
There is a well documented and important health phenomenon and the beneficial effect of red wine has on our arteries, stopping his aging.
