Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why red
wine could be good for your gut - in moderation
Does a glass of red wine a day keep the
doctor away? If an apple does, so does red wine, according to new research. That’s
because red wine contains substantial polyphenols, a category of plant
compounds that offers various health benefits. Regular consumption of polyphenols
seems to boost digestion and brain health, as well as to protect against heart
disease, diabetes, and even some cancers. Dark chocolate, tea, berries, and red
wind are all rich in polyphenols.
But why is red wine good for our stomach? That’s
because it seems to help the balance of bacteria and other micro-organisms in
the stomach that keeps us healthy.
Do you need to drink red wine every day or every meal? Not really. It is an alcoholic drink after all, so moderate
consumption is always advised. Again, you can enjoy berries with your cereal,
tea after a meal, and dark chocolate for a snack to enjoy the benefits of
polyphenols. But of course, a glass of red wine makes your meal and day even
more pleasurable.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about
this favorable research finding.
