France is
the largest consumer of wine in the world, consuming 78L per person annually. Meanwhile, France is also one of the countries
enjoying the longest average life expectancies in the world. Though French are
fond of food with high cholesterol, such as cheese, meat and goose liver, the
number of people died of cardiovascular diseases is only half of that of the
Americans and the English. Thus, scientists found the answer from red wine:
wine contains many extraordinary substances. Just red wine juice is favorable
to heart: according to the result of an experiment conducted by American
scientists, drinking 250g
red wine juice everyday can generate great influence on blood platelet and prevent
thrombus which can cause embolism. Data shows that grape juice is more
efficacious than aspirin in thrombus prevention. Grape juice fermentation gives
rise to extremely valuable compounds, which are beneficial to angiocarpy, able
to ease oxidizing reaction, clear blocked artery and prevent atherosclerosis
and other heart diseases. These substances in red wine enable French
gastronomes to enjoy food with high cholesterol without scruples. Wine is a
very beneficial beverage, the acidity of which is nearly the same as that of gastric
acid, thus benefiting to digestion. In addition, wine also contains rich
vitamin B1, B2, B6, B12, etc., which can make one healthy and strong.
