Low carb Spanish wine recipe – Health benefits of wine

Wine is one of the oldest cultural beverages of humanity. Already among the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, it was known as a universal medicine. But it was Hippocrates who introduced wine into the healing art for specific applications around 400 BC. He used wine as a fortifying agent for convalescents, as a sedative and sleep aid, for headaches and mood swings, as a painkiller, in cardiovascular disorders and even in eye diseases. In addition, he prescribed wine in bloating, in bacterial and toxic bowel disease and as a diuretic. Wine was used for superficial wound treatment and some water was added for disinfection.

History of wine in medicine

In ancient Rome, heavy red wines were prescribed for feverish gastrointestinal illnesses, bleeding from wines rich in tannins, and loss of appetite from old wines. In addition, wine was recommended for wraps, rubbings, and massages, especially on open wounds of seriously injured people.

In the Middle Ages, in some places – especially in central and northern Germany – pharmacies were transformed into company drinking halls. In Germany, in 1892, the local health insurance in Heidelberg, in consultation with doctors, prescribed wine for various illnesses.

Why do the French live longer?

In wine-consuming countries, people die less frequently from cardiovascular diseases. Long-term studies have consistently shown that moderate alcohol consumption (compared to abstinence from alcohol) has a significantly lower rate of fatal heart attacks and strokes. This applies to both men and women and is particularly pronounced in old age.

Advances in analytical technology have allowed chemists to identify ever-new ingredients in wine that are candidates for preventing heart attacks and cancer. These come from grape skins and are found in wine, especially red wine, which is more concentrated than regular grape juice.

In recent years, researchers around the world have begun to intensively study other health-related areas, in particular the links between wine consumption and cancer, kidney stones, osteoporosis, Alzheimer's disease and dementia. While early studies highlighted the health benefits of red wine, recent research appears to show that moderate consumption of white wine has similar health benefits.

The ingredients – how can wine be good for your health?

One liter of wine contains on average: 800 to 900 grams of water, 20 to 30 grams of glucose and fructose, five to ten grams of glycerol, six to twelve grams of various organic acids, 60 to 100 grams of ethyl alcohol, a few grams of potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron, various fermentation residues from wine production.

At first glance, this sounds rather “sober”. But behind the individual ingredients are sometimes hidden small packets of energy. Already one to two glasses of wine can contribute considerably to the daily mineral requirement. This is especially true for potassium, magnesium, calcium and iron, as well as for some trace elements. The polyphenol contained mainly in red wines inhibits cell aging, inflammatory processes, blood clotting and thus the formation of thrombosis.

For the healthy adult, a dose can be derived from the large number of studies showing health benefits but no drawbacks:

For women: 20 to 30 grams of alcohol per day = 0.2 to 0.3 liters of wine = one to two glasses of wine

For men: 30 to 40 grams of alcohol per day = 0.4 l of wine = two to a maximum of three glasses of wine

Health aspects of wine consumption

Regular and moderate consumption of wine:

It prevents heart attacks and preserves the elasticity of blood vessels, because wine improves blood circulation in the heart muscle, reduces blood cholesterol levels, improves the characteristic flow of blood and reduces the risk of thrombosis.

prolongs life expectancy, because wine contains natural antioxidants, cellular aging is delayed and cancer mortality is reduced.

purifies the body because the kidneys work more actively, wine improves the flow of urine and increases the excretion of waste products.

supports the defense of diseases, because wine is the viability of pathogens down, bacteria and viruses can kill and increases the immune powers of the human body.

slows down bone decalcification and thus prevents osteoporosis, which is especially dangerous for women.

It is “biological regeneration” because after the effort and moderate consumption of wine, valuable minerals have already been replaced, harmonizing the body and refreshing it.

keep physically and mentally active, because the age-related deterioration of brain functions is slower in the consumption of maßvollem wine and the flow of blood and oxygen supplying the brain to the brain improves.
