Wine declared the safest alcoholic beverage — study
According to a recent study, wine drinkers have a 21% lower risk of death from cardiovascular diseases compared to people who abstain from alcohol entirely. This is attributed to the beverage’s composition and the lifestyle of its consumers.
Wine contains antioxidants beneficial for blood vessels, which help dilate them, improve blood composition, and reduce stress. Wine drinkers also tend to choose healthier snacks such as cheese, meat, or fruit instead of unhealthy salty snacks.
In addition to the beneficial compounds in wine, enthusiasts often lead more active lifestyles, including spending more time walking outdoors. It is also important that dry red wine has significantly less sugar compared to cocktails and beer.
Physicians emphasize that despite the health benefits of wine, consumption should remain moderate and within recommended limits to avoid negative effects of alcohol.
Thus, moderate wine drinking can be part of a healthy lifestyle and contribute to cardiovascular health when combined with proper nutrition and physical activity.
