Who doesn’t want to reduce the risk of heart attack!
Reduce your blood pressure with non-alcoholic wine. Studies point to the fact that consuming both red and white wine can help maintain your BP by lowering LDL or bad cholesterol levels. While white wine helps to lower LDL, red wine also tends to increase HDL or good cholesterol levels. The general limit prescribed is one drink per day for women and two for men (1 drink = 5 ounces). What’s more? Resveratrol in red wine can also reduce bad cholesterol. Studies have shown that resveratrol can dilate blood vessels, improve platelet aggregation and microcirculation with a direct effect on lipid metabolism. Too much medical jargon? Know that it’s healthy and beneficial for your heart. With non-alcoholic wine, forget the issues and get going with improving your health alcohol-free!
Reduce the risk of cancer
Resveratrol in red wine is known for its anti-cancerous properties too. It can limit the spread of existing cancer cells and even kill cancer cells. Non-alcoholic red wine are thus appropriate for people suffering from early stages of cancer such as prostate cancer or ovarian cancer.
Reduce the risk of heart disease
Non-alcoholic wine can reduce the incidence of heart disease by reducing inflammation, reducing bad cholesterol and decreasing clot formation in the CVS, thereby curbing heart attacks. Both red and white wine have properties that can help you lead a healthy life, and choosing a non-alcoholic wine has its own added benefits.
Help prevent diabetes
Both red and white wine are known to help with the incidence of insulin resistance in the body contributing to managing blood sugar levels, mostly by lowering the levels. If you ever wondered that wine isn’t the alcohol for you since you are diabetic, it’s time you changed that opinion and poured yourself a glass or two occasionally. Also, you can do it guilt-free if it is a non-alcoholic wine.
Who knew Non-Alcoholic drinks can also help you look younger and fit!
You would have often heard people raising a concern about how drinking alcohol might make you age faster but at the same time drinking wine can help you look younger and lose weight. Well, let’s just say both are partially correct. But if we tell you, you can drink non-alcoholic beverages (especially wine), without being concerned about the aging issue and it can also help in weight loss and getting younger-looking skin, will you believe us?
