Red Wine or Bad Wine?!
I used to think, drinking one glass of wine is recommended on a daily base, since all of its health benefits, especially the reduction of heart disease risk.
However, new researches shows that what`s good for the heart may not be good for the breast. Recent British studies link alcohol to breast cancer and suggests that a small glass of wine every day may raise a woman`s breast cancer risk by %12 precent!
So what should we do? Is red wine good or bad for us ?
For all of you out there, who loves unwinding with a glass of wine like myself, read this:
According to Dr. JoAnn E.Manson, MD, Professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, If breast cancer runs in your family, you may consider abstaining. But- if you maintain a healthy weight, exercise, eat lots of fruits, veggies and whole grains, and- do not smoke, your increase in risk from a few glasses of red wine per week will likely be very small. As long as you accept the fact that alcohol does carry some risk, it may still be worth it for you, since its large amount of healthy benefits: Reduces the risk of heart disease since certain antioxidants substances in red wine called polyphenols helps protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart therefore may help prevent heart disease by increasing levels of “good” cholesterol and protecting against artery damage. Red wine can also slow the progression of neurological degenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease.
