A new study has proven this drink to
be extremely beneficial to both kidneys and overall cardiovascular health. It’s
been repeatedly proven to lower blood pressure and help prevent stroke and
heart attack.
The research, the team in University
of Colorado-Denver collected data from the National Health and Nutrition
Examination survey for the period of 2003 to 2006.
Of the 5852 participants analyzed,
the prevalence of chronic kidney disease was significantly lower in those who
consumed at least one glass of wine a day, compared to non-wine-drinkers.
Taking this a step further, among
the 1031 participants who already had chronic kidney disease, drinking at least
one glass of wine a day seemed to protect them from the risk of developing
cardiovascular disease.
Since kidney diseases and heart
diseases share common risk factors, patients with kidney diseases who drink a
moderate amount of wine can possible keep heart diseases abbey.
This research study by no means
suggests that non-drinkers suffering from kidney disease should start drinking
wine as medicine. And you should limit yourself to 1-2 glasses maximum.
Anything more can cause more harm than good.
And again NO – drinking margarita or
sipping a beer has not been shown to have any similar health benefits as wine.
And just to spoil the fun. Other
studies have clearly proven that non-alcoholic wine is just as healthy – maybe
even better – than regular wine.
