Wine and Health
According to experts, a healthy balanced diet should include foods rich in fiber, minerals and vitamins, mostly in the form of vegetables, fruits and vegetables. In this sense, the Mediterranean diet is one of the best known and recommended, and the wine is an essential component. Among his countless benefits of wine should be noted that:
- Moderate consumption of wine is not only beneficial in preventing coronary disease type, but type cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s or depression, according to the American Heart Association
- Moderate wine consumption reduced by 20% the risk of cancer, myocardial infarction or cerebral vascular complications accidents.
- Drink a couple glasses of wine a day and not smoking reduces the risk of peripheral arterial disease. The American Journal of Epidemiology
- Moderate consumption of wine could reduce up to 20% the risk of macular degeneration. The Journal of the American Geriatrics
- A couple of glasses of wine a day reduces the risk of stomach ulcers.
- Blac wine reduces levels of blood pressure.
One of the most marked up by the experts is that these drinks should be consumed in moderation and regular. In this sense, the best thing would be a couple of glasses a day, preferably at mealtimes, because this way the alcohol is absorbed more slowly and polyphenols protect the body from oxidation of fats. We must not forget that wine is a good antioxidant to contain polyphenols and resveratrol. The high concentration of these substances helps reduce LDL cholesterol levels, improving circulation and reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
Get Enough Sleep Reduces the Risk of Obesity
we tend to think that to have a body to reach ten, we need to eat only vegetables and fruits, and also in small quantities. We have in mind exercise to improve our health and reduce weight. Even fewer care of our sleep.
Sleep and the hours needed, is essential for healthy living. But here in Spain every time we sleep less, and we pride ourselves on top of it, implying that we sacrifice our sleep to meet daily goals. Besides the famous siesta helps compensate for hours lost at night, you cannot add the hours as well. If it is true that napping clears and gives us strength, but we cannot think that if I slept five hours last night, now I miss nap three point ball.
It is surprising the finding that the risk of obesity increases with decreasing the number of hours and quality of our sleep. These observations were taken at first with caution, but have been reinforced with many recent studies. These studies had demonstrated that, regardless of race and geographic location, poor sleep and / or poor increased from 40% to 50% risk of overweight and obesity.
The effect of many diets that completely diminished in those who did not sleep the appropriate number of hours. But how many hours are we really need?. Well it seems that the topic most typical of all eight hours of life is the answer to the question. For six hours under the risk of weight gain or obesity increases.
I hope this has helped to understand that although it is difficult to lead a life in full health, the fact to know why certain things happen, or can be solved is not an impediment for us.
