Do You Know Where The World’s Healthiest Wines Are Grown ???
British scientists discovered that the traditional red wines from the vineyards of France and Italy are the best for your health. It was found that the red wines from these two regions have the highest concentrations of a chemical that boosts cardiovascular health.
The research suggested that the artery-clogging effects of a fatty Christmas dinner can best be counteracted by drinking a red wine from south west France or Sardinia.
You may have heard that drinking a little red wine is good for your health. But certain traditional wines are better than the newer varieties. Researchers say that if you want to live a long life, you should opt for a glass of Sardinian red wine over an Australian Shiraz.
These French and Sardinian wines are rich in antioxidant chemicals called polyphenols, which protect the blood vessels and heart. Reds from Nuoro, such as Cannonau, and from Gers, such as Madiran, were found to have between two and four times more procyanidins than other red wines.
The study concluded that people who want to protect their hearts and enjoy a long life, should forego popular New World wines from Australia, United States, and other places and instead buy a bottle of French Madiran or a red from the Nuoro region of Sardinia.
But remember, drink in moderation !!! Too much of anything is bad ….
