4 Reasons Why Red Wine is the Drink to Your Heart
Red wine is made of ripe black grapes which are fermented and aged for years before they reach you. Grapes are handpicked and processed through giant machinery where they are crushed, cooled, fermented and stored for aging before being bottled and sold as wine. For the process of aging, they are stored in oak barrels and kept for years. Wine taste keeps getting better with age. Also, the wine gets its enticing aroma from the crushed grapes, its skin and pulp, that means there’s nothing which is externally added.
Grapes have proanthocyanidins, numerous compounds, antioxidants, tannins and resveratrol which makes wine a drink with benefits. These components are the major beneficial components that help improve health conditions when consumed. The information that follows will surely convince you that wine is the way to your healthy heart.
Presence of tannins help reduce cholesterol deposition
Do you suffer from high cholesterol? There is a quite a pretty large number of people who have cholesterol on the higher side and surely have been advised to stop any consumption of alcoholic drinks. Wouldn’t it be amazing if there proves to be a drink that will satisfy your craving for a drink as well as benefit your heart if taken in reasonable quantity? It sure would be. Right? So here is the answer, the tannin compound prevents cholesterol deposition in the heart vessels and thereby prevents constriction which saves the possibility of future heart diseases.
Resveratrol prevents the blood from clotting
The resveratrol compound present in wine helps reduce the LDL, which are the low-density lipoprotein, which if present enhances the formation of blood clots due to clumping up of the platelets. These clots might lead to arterial blockage resulting in heart attacks. Consumption of an appropriate amount of red wine helps in balancing the level of LDL with its counter compound resveratrol and improves the heart’s health.
Improves the HDL level
The high-density protein, also known as the good protein helps is degradation of the already accumulated fats which might have gathered over the years. This directly also helps in moderating your blood pressure. Blood pressure has become the most common disease across the world nowadays. Among the many reasons, this is one.

The antioxidants make you look gorgeous
A large number of antioxidants are present in red wine and help combat the radicals present in the body that are born out of basic cell metabolism that takes place during the growth, development and aging process. These radicals stay in the body and encourage the aging process including the organs, heart, skin, and more. With a moderate intake of red wine, these antioxidants help fight against radicals resulting in slower degradation of the heart and other organs which in turn keeps you fit and younger for longer. Plus, as the radicals are reduced, it even makes your skin glow.
In conclusion…
There are many more positive qualities of red wine, as it helps reduce the risk of deadly disease cancer and even dementia. All that being said, it must be taken into serious consideration that only a moderate amount of wine is beneficial. Excessive intake might antagonize every useful factor and lead to the dire consequence of every other alcoholic drink.
