The culprit of human oxidation is not oxygen, but oxygen free radical, which is an active gene with unpaired electrons outside the nucleus. This unpaired electron can easily cause chemical reactions and damage important biomolecules such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), protein, lipids, etc., and then affect the transport process of cell membrane, damage the functions of various tissues and organs, and promote the aging of the body. Red wine contains a variety of antioxidants, such as phenols, tannins, flavonoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, trace elements selenium, zinc, manganese, etc., which can eliminate or fight oxygen free radicals, so it has the functions of anti-aging and disease prevention.

The disadvantages of drinking too much red wine 1, heart disease: Studies have found that drinking more than 4 glasses of red wine every day will increase the risk of heart disease! The alcohol contained in wine can raise blood lipid and promote the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases at high dose.

2, memory decline: excessive drinking of red wine, excessive alcohol intake, brain nerves are inhibited, over time, memory will decline.

3, digestive tract diseases: after a large amount of alcohol enters the human body, first dilute the gastric juice in the stomach to reduce the gastric mucosa, and then damage the digestive tract mucosa, which will aggravate all diseases in the digestive tract, such as gastritis, gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer, enteritis, other intestinal diseases, etc.

4. Hypertension: With the increase of alcohol consumption, both systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure increase progressively. Studies have found that the stroke mortality rate of heavy drinkers is three times higher than that of light drinkers. After drinking alcohol, hypertensive patients will have a short-term drop in blood pressure, and then their blood pressure will rebound and be higher than usual.

5, liver disease: long-term excessive drinking, too much ethanol into the blood, in the process of metabolism in the body, fatty acid synthesis in the liver increases, oxidation decreases, fat accumulates in the liver, becoming fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis. In addition, alcohol can directly damage liver cells, leading to an increase in transaminase. If you continue to drink alcohol, liver cells will rapidly degenerate and metabolize. At this time, the appetite will decrease, and there will be nutritional deficiency, which will lead to the continuous necrosis of liver cells and be replaced by proliferating fibrous tissue, thus turning into clinically refractory cirrhosis.

6. Gout: Red wine and other alcoholic beverages contain alcohol. Alcohol can increase lactic acid in the body, which will inhibit the excretion of uric acid by renal tubules. Alcohol can also promote purine decomposition and increase blood uric acid, so heavy drinking can cause gout attacks.

Each gram of alcohol can provide 7 kilocalories of energy, and the action speed is relatively fast. If you drink 350ml of red wine, the alcohol provided is equivalent to the energy of a bowl of rice, then the fat saved must be stored in the body, and obesity will come to you over time.

9, aging: drinking more than a certain amount of red wine, the role of fat exceeds the role of antioxidants, it will be counterproductive, so that women's heart and liver function is damaged, the skin is rough, premature aging.
