A Glass of Red Wine
There has been a lot of interest in the media about the health benefits of red wine. Health benefits are coming from the anti-oxidants, the red wine polyphenols, anthrocyanidins and resveratrol. Resveratrol, in particular, has been demonstrated to be a potent anti-oxidant (about 20-50 times as effective as vitamin C alone) and act synergistically with vitamin C enhancing the effects of each. Resveratrol has been demonstrated to have an anti-clotting effect that prevents the formation of thrombi or blood clots in the blood vessels. The formation of thrombi that block small blood vessels is believed to be a cause of heart attacks and strokes. Resveratrol has been demonstrated to have anti-cancer effects as well and proven to promote the formation of new dendrites in the brain. Researchers also concluded that levels of sexual desire were higher in women who were moderate drinkers of red wine than in their counterparts who preferred other alcoholic drinks, or were teetotal. One of the recent studies showed that chemical compounds found in red wine may improve sexual functioning by increasing blood flow to key areas of the body.
