Helping Fight Heart Disease
So, you've enjoyed a lovely glass of Cab Sauv with your dinner every day; what benefits will this wine bring to your body? |
Research by UCA-Davis has shown that the wine is reducing coronary heart disease incidence. This was known as the "French Paradox" for a while, because doctors couldn't figure out why the cream-loving French weren't dying from heart attacks frequently. Wine, it turns out, was the answer. |
What is wine doing? The wine is altering the blood lipid levels. It lowers the total cholesterol count, and raises the high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. In essence, it keeps the blood vessels clean. In fact, research in Dec 2001 showed how polyphenols in red wine - especially Cabernet Sauvignon - keeps the arteries clear. Hoist your glass. Salud! |
