Is Red Wine Good for You?

For more info: draxe.com/red-wine-may-help-f...
Is red wine good for you and is red wine fattening? Yes and No.
1) Resveratrol
The skin of grapes are packed with the antioxidant resveratrol which benefits:
⁃ Eyesight
⁃ Fights cancer
⁃ Heart and brain protection
⁃ Anti-aging
⁃ Lowers cholesterol and blood pressure
2) Fattening
Red wine is not fattening if consumed in small amounts due to unique antioxidants and phytonutrients that help burn body fat.
3) Alcohol
A small amount of alcohol stimulates liver detox by breaking down bile
⁃ Suggested amount: 1/2 glass or less
Over consuming (more than one glass in a sitting or a few glasses a week) becomes toxic to the liver which will negate the health benefits and cause long-term health issues such as:
⁃ Slows down liver detox
⁃ Increases toxicity
⁃ Increases fat storage
⁃ Potential heart issues

I took a glass of red wine and I felt awesome I think faster,I'm more alert, and I feel less anxiety and stressed!

[@nordscan9043]

Red wine gives people migraines easily, on top of that people feel sluggish even after one glass of red(in small amounts) the next day, just look at this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4ncqIaqeriXn5o The heart benefits of red wine for young people(20s-30s) are marginal, Not big. Some people think alcohol is a sleep aid, it helps you to sleep(temporarily) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hn_UXn2Zi9GMepY but then when the effect wears off, you become restless. It affects your body's natural sleeping pattern,.it steals a precious chemical in your body called 'the human growth hormone'.

[@danseabreeze1404]

Strange thing is, many people are aware of the "dirty dozen" which is the top fruits and vegetables that are sprayed the most with pesticides and which preferably should be bought organic. Grapes are one of those that are heavily sprayed with pesticides so I wonder just how concentrated those pesticides are in red (I prefer red) wine? I remember as a naive teenager sitting in front of the tv with a bag of red grapes and thinking that those grapes smelled like roach spray. Years later I realized since I didn't wash them first they probably were so full of pesticides that I really could smell it. The smell was so strong I never forgot it.

We make what they call grape shrubs. By taking grape skin and seeds adding vinegar and bring to boil. Storing it in the fridge, it keeps a long time. We do the non-alcoholic kind. You can use it to build your immune system when you are sick, or a tbl spoon to a glass of water for refreshing drink.

[@mehp1244]

Good points, I drink only red wine but at 1/2 to a whole bottle per day I think I better stop. That must be why my cholesterol is high and blood pressure up. Wow, never even thought about that.

[@drewdreiling8823]

Some good info on resveratrol. And the little bit of research I've done on alcohol does indicate some health benefits when consumed a) in moderation and b) by someone not experiencing severe liver distress. However, I think Dr. A missed some important points, such as... 1. Conventional vs Organic vs Biodynamic (I recommend the latter, for the fact that they're the only ones who use native yeasts, which were the only yeast strains used in wine making until the industrial revolution). 2. Sulfites (Could have talked about natural sulfites in many red wines vs added sulfites, and the implications on health). 3. General recommendations on consumption (I'm 210 lbs. The amount of red wine I can safely drink is different than that of my 100 lbs friends. And then there's the issue of the condition of an individual's digestive system and liver.) ...And as an option, you could thrown in some bible passages on the topic of alcohol & wine, such as wine being a gift from God (Psalm 104), warnings against over consumption & drunkenness (ex. Eph. 5:18, Gal. 5:21), and the apparent gastrointestinal benefits of drinking wine (Paul's advice to Timothy in 1 Tim. 5). bestnaturalfoods.com/newsletter/organic_wine.html And check out Frey's line of Biodynamic red wines. They're the most affordable I've come across.

Thank you for sharing. I am here because I discovered that when I take ~2oz (4oz max) of red wine before bed, sometimes mixed with a tablespoon or less of honey (its feels instinctually right and also taste more palatable for me)- I wake up with less inflammation/swelling in my legs and less prominent spider veins. I was originally taking resveratrol supplements and turned to redwine, the original source, because of my budget. Taking the two together also works very well. The redwine seems to also enhance the effect of the butcher's broom supplement I take for spider veins as well. Inflammation and vein prominence decrease. The only caveat is the benefit is short lived once supplementation stops. So it seems I need to be consistent with taking it.
