The wine, drink from the intense color and intoxicating fragrance was praised by philosophers since ancient times for its considerable virtues.
In this regard, Paolo Mantegazza declaims thus: "Wine is the balm of old age. They said the proverbs of all nations, they proclaimed doctors of all time, and Galeno wrote: Sane vinum pueris east alienissimum, ita senibus aptissimum. "According to popular wisdom "wine makes good blood" but is it really so? Numerous studies now seem to attribute to this drink beneficial properties, but to what extent is good to consume it? And above all, which of these beneficial properties have been demonstrated?
In this regard, researchers have questioned dell'Anschutz Medical Center of the University of Colorado, specifically the possible consequences of the consumption of wine of kidneys and cardiovascular system.
The study was carried out on data taken from the records of the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination, the data concerned 6000 persons, 1000 of them suffering from chronic diseases in the kidneys.
Kidney disease, according to the National Kidney Foundation would be mainly due to two factors, high blood pressure and diabetes that could lead these diseases, with high probability of cardio vascular diseases.
Dr Tapan Mehta, kidney specialist, analyzing the data of his study concluded that subjects who consumed less than one glass of wine a day were less likely to develop kidney disease, specifically in the normal subjects, the risk was less than 37% while in patients with kidney disease risk of cardiovascular disease was less than 29% compared to those who consumed higher amounts of wine. In particular, the consumption of moderate amounts of wine, in patients with renal disease, would help to reduce the level of protein in the urine, a factor that would impact significantly on the likelihood of progression of cardiovascular disease.
You can pretty much confirm that enjoy a good glass of wine a day would have positive effects on our body due to the presence of polyphenols and stilbenoids substances by the now familiar anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. But if it does not go to drink good wine, we can always use it in some special recipes.
