Red wine is known to reverse the effect of dying ear hair cells which
marks the onset of losing hearing abilities. Raise your glasses and hear
them clink, more clearly each time. On a side note, the article does
not encourage you to get a bottle of red wine and binge on it.
1. Stay young forever
Red
wine contains a LOT of anti-oxidants. Lots mean LOTS and LOTS of them.
These are the primary compounds that have anti-ageing properties and
even help with diabetes. It might not be the ever illusive “Fountain of
youth” but it can be safely said that the Spanish were better off
sipping the drink of the gods.
2. Let it beat
Just fell
in love and gave your heart to someone? Well, at least make it last a
bit. Red wine contains a powerful anti-oxidant known as “Resveratrol”.
Consuming red wine cuts the harmful effects of the “bad” LDL cholesterol
and prevents the formation of blood clots while increasing the level of
“good” LDL cholesterol.
3. More brainy
A recent study
shows a boost in brain power for women who enjoy a little alcohol. The
study, published in the Jan. 20 issue of The New England Journal of
Medicine, evaluated more than 12,000 women aged 70-81. Moderate drinkers
had a 23% reduced risk of mental decline compared with non-drinkers. No
reason not to have a glass before that big exam the next day.
4. Control the dreaded cancer
Yes,
that’s right. Red wine can prevent and even cure cancer. The oxidative
damage to body functions, the primary cause of Alzheimer’s, type – 2
diabetes and cardiovascular diseases can be readily prevented by the
consumption of anti-oxidants found in red wine. These in conjunction
with chemo therapy can enhance its success rate greatly.
5. Stay slim the French way
The
French have a peculiar habit of having wine with their meals.
Apparently, alcohol stimulates the appetite so it is better to drink it
with food. When alcohol is mixed with food, it slows the stomach’s
emptying time and decreases the amount of food consumed at the meal.
6. Healthy white shining teeth
