Recent studies Can a glass of red wine promote our health every day?

Myth or Truth: Is a glass of red wine healthy during the day??
You can always hear or read that it is healthy to drink a glass of red wine every day. On the other hand, the risks of regular alcohol consumption are constantly being warned. Is the tip so not reasonable?

Resveratrol prevents diseases
For a long time, experts have been arguing over whether red wine - in moderation - is healthy, or whether one should do without small quantities better. In studies, the red wine contained in the resveratrol positive effects in diseases such as arteriosclerosis (atherosclerosis), Alzheimer's, arthritis or heart disease was certified. However, there are always studies that relativize or negate the results of other studies. So what about the claim that the daily glass of red wine would be good for your health??

Advantages and disadvantages weigh up
Professor Andreas Pfeiffer, Head of the Medical Clinic for Endocrinology and Metabolism at the Charité Berlin Campus Benjamin Franklin, said in a message from the news agency dpa that this wisdom is basically correct.

Of course, there are just as consequences of the alcohol that relativize that. "The pros and cons weigh in on a moderate consumption in about," explained Pfeiffer. According to the physician, women have 10 to 20 grams of alcohol - that's just under 0.2 liters of wine - and up to 30 grams of alcohol in men as moderate consumption.

Alcohol in small amounts reduces certain health risks
According to Professor Pfeiffer reduce alcohol consumed in such an amount, the incidence of heart attacks and the number of new cases of diabetes.

However, it had not been explored exactly what that was. But: "alcohol promotes other causes of death." For example, accidents, but also serious illnesses. So even low alcohol consumption can trigger seven different types of cancer, as scientists found.

Their analysis showed that alcohol is involved in the development of, among others, breast cancer, liver cancer and colon cancer.

No request for regular wine consumption
Serious doctors should therefore probably no request for regular wine drinking to prevent disease. Some people are already getting their hands off red wine anyway. Not necessarily because of the alcohol, but because the grape juice is poorly tolerated for them.
