1. Reduce harmful cholesterol
Both nutritionists and medical experts have been puzzled by the "French paradox": the French clearly eat so many foods with high saturated fat, but their probability of suffering from coronary heart disease is so low. Why is this? Later, researchers found that the "French paradox" was mainly due to red wine. Red wine is an indispensable role in the French diet. It can reduce harmful cholesterol, prevent thrombosis, and thus reduce the prevalence of coronary heart disease. In order to achieve this effect, women should drink one glass of wine (100-150 ml) every day, while men can drink two glasses (about 200-250 ml).
2. Prevention of diabetes
Medical experts hope that people will remember that moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages can bring certain health effects to the human body like other foods. The latest research found that for women, alcohol can stimulate the body to produce insulin, thus preventing type 2 diabetes caused by a sudden rise in blood sugar. However, further research is needed to determine how much alcohol can produce such effect.
3. Stimulate brain intelligence
Wine can increase the content of beneficial cholesterol in the body, thus allowing blood to flow more smoothly to the brain. Researchers believe that moderate alcohol consumption may expand the blood vessels of the brain, increase blood flow, and fight against toxic proteins related to dementia. In addition, alcohol can make brain cells produce controllable stress, which helps them better deal with the strong pressure that may lead to dementia.
4. Prevention of gallstones
One of the main components of gallstones is cholesterol. Antioxidants in wine can increase the content of beneficial cholesterol in human body (including gallbladder), reduce harmful cholesterol, and thus prevent the formation of gallstones.
5. Weight control
Practice has proved that after long-term moderate drinking (two drinks a day for men and one drink for women), the body can effectively metabolize alcohol without causing weight gain. If you drink 5-7 glasses of wine every week, it can effectively help reduce the number of snacks and snacks and prevent overeating. For example, a light beer can make your stomach feel full and control appetite, but it will not bring too many calories.
6. Cancer prevention
Resveratrol in red wine has powerful health effects, which can prevent fat accumulation, reduce insulin resistance and prevent diabetes. Some researchers believe that resveratrol can prevent and treat tumors by inhibiting the growth of tumor blood vessels. It can even inhibit the growth of breast cancer cells by blocking the growth effect of estrogen.
7. Strengthen bones
When drinking cereal Congee in the morning, most people like to add some milk. However, you can also use PaleAle instead of milk. Many beers, especially Aer Mild, contain a lot of silicon. Silicon in beer, like calcium in milk, can strengthen bone density and prevent osteoporosis.
The study found that people who drank a little beer or wine every day, both men and women, had higher bone density than those who did not drink.
