This is my second in a series of articles about the pleasantly surprising health benefits of some of our favorite indulgences. I hope you read my related articles on coffee and tea, chocolate, e.
Drinking wine began more than 7,000 years ago in the mountainous region of Iran, where the wild grape Vitis vinifera grew. People have discovered that the break allows the skin of the grapes, the yeast that naturally accumulated in ripening grapes for juice, soBeginning of the fermentation that turns grape sugar to alcohol. From 2500 BC the Egyptians stomping grapes in wooden barrels have been with her bare feet. The Greeks encouraged the production of wine in France and Italy and from there spread wine slowly north.
Medical researchers have for some time that alcohol in moderation has a positive effect on health, particularly heart disease known. In the early 1990s, researchers have discovered the "French paradox": the Frenchhave a much lower risk of heart attack than Americans, despite similar levels of dietary fat. Wine drinkers seem to live longer than non-drinkers and those drinking other forms of alcohol.
The guidelines of the American Heart Association recommends that people who drink in moderation - no more than two drinks per day for a man, a drink for a woman.
Red wine is recommended for protection against colon cancer. Such as coffee and tea, beer and wine are associated withreduced risk of kidney stones.
The researchers found a significant decrease in all-cause mortality among wine drinkers than non-wine drinkers at all levels of alcohol consumption. light drinkers (1-7 drinks per week) had a lower risk of death from heart disease or cancer, but the risk was further for light or moderate drinkers (eight to 21 drinks per week), usually reduced drinking wine. The heavy drinkers drank the wine at less risk of death of heavy drinkersavoided the wine.
Several large-scale studies link moderate wine consumption to lower mortality from heart disease and stroke. Wine can also contain flavonoids. The grapes are the only fruit that is resveratrol, a plant estrogen - a substance that acts like a hormone - that some people who do not drink wine, try some of the benefits from eating grapes or drinking grape juice can win. Resveratrol has been shown to slow the formation and growth of cancer.
Brewing waspossible with the creation of an agrarian society and the growing of crops such as barley and wheat. In 4000 BC, the Sumerians discovered the effects of drinking jelly that had been left to ferment. This beer brewery was once again began malting barley alcohol. Germination of grain, then drying and heating so that the starch into sugars, the fermentation will produce stronger and stronger flavor. In northern Europe, where the cultivation of grapes was unknown,But where corn flourished, beer probably developed independently. It 'was a French physician, that yeast is the microorganism responsible for fermentation discovered.
Beer reduces the risk of cardiac and vascular death.
As with tea vs. coffee, it is doubtful if the sound on beer vs. wine may be due to social and economic factors. Wine drinkers had a higher IQ, more education, have a higher socio-economic status and better nutritioncompared to beer drinkers. A recent study of these factors correctly finds no difference between the two.
The definition of "moderate is about the same as for the beer to wine - one or two a day for men, one for women.
In favor of beer, some of the nutrients in the wine do not survive the filtering. Barley and wheat, commonly used in the production of beer, and with a variety of vitamins to survive the fermentation and filtering uploaded. Also, many unfiltered beers on the market. EuropeanThe peasants of earlier centuries, in fact, derive much of their power from beer.
Is there any reason not to consume alcohol? Drinking in excess, has an adverse effect on life expectancy. It can cause cancer, in particular because of breast cancer in women, the American Cancer Society recommends that women be treated with a particularly high risk of breast cancer to give up alcohol.
Those who avoid alcohol should also apply with gastritis and liver disease related to the pressureDrugs, alcohol and because it has many calories a person with a tendency to obesity.
