Alcohol is good for... sounds like the beginning of an oxymoron. The thing that annoys me the most about this is some doctors actually recommend drinking red wine for better health.
Quick facts:
- Red wine is a low cholesterol food which is good for someone suffering with heart disease.
- Red wine is a blood thinner which lowers the chances of blood clotting leading to clogged arteries.
- Red wine has antioxidant which fights free radicals that destroy cells.
But some questions to consider before taken your doctor's words to heart (pun). What part of red wine is really beneficial? The alcohol or the grape juice? While the arteries may be clearing up, am I now damaging my liver and other organs?
Maybe it's more appealing to recommend red wine as oppose to eating right and drinking fruit juices. After all the deaths from drunk driving even buzzed driving, I don't think it's a good idea for medical professionals to recommend red wine for heart problems. Like many other traditional Western medical treatments, that's a topical treatment for an internal problem. Why are your arteries clogged? What are you eating on a regular basis? Do you exercise? Use your brain and discretion, you know what you're doing to your body that's harmful or beneficial!
