My great grandmother used to say drink one glass of red wine a day, as it was important in keeping you healthy, and although she was not a doctor, all the women in our family have believed in that since then. But how true are the health benefits of red wine?
I did a bit of a research, and found out some medical studies proved that a glass of red wine is good for your health as it helps improve your good cholesterol (HDL), and red grapes naturally have antioxidant, and anti-clotting properties where the polyphenols in grapes act as multiple anti-agers.
After researching this, I decided to contact a winery in St. Helena, California owned by a Cardiologist and checked with them about the health benefits of red grapes.
The Revana Family Vineyard is located in the heart of Napa Valley and produces world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. Its founder, Dr. Madaiah Revana was born in a farm in India, and until his early twenties he never consumed alcohol. He is a practicing cardiologist in Houston, Texas and he devotes his time at his vineyard pursuing his love for the rich tradition and culture of winemaking.
As Dr. Revana explains at his website “… he came to believe that moderate wine consumption, in the proper setting, can be a healthful and medically defensible daily pleasure. Louis Pasteur, the eminent scientist, also said that wine is the most hygienic of drinks. Dr. Revana’s own habit is to drink wine daily, with dinner and almost always in the company of family and friends. From his perspective as a cardiologist, wine is one of nature’s most welcome and wholesome of gifts when enjoyed in moderation…”
Therefore, incorporate more red grapes into your diet and drink responsibly. The good grapes of life are there for you!
NOTE: Although the American Heart Association admits there may exist some beneficial elements in red wine, which they believe are as now unproven, they do not prescribe drinking wine (or any other alcoholic beverage) in lieu of the known negative effects
