Welcome to my channel, today I will talk about whether drinking red wine every day is good for your heart?
The French like to drink red wine. The incidence of cardiovascular diseases in France is lower than that in other European and American countries. Some people attribute this to the benefits of drinking red wine.
The low incidence of cardiovascular diseases in France is related to the French diet culture. French people mainly eat Mediterranean food, which is not closely related to red wine, and people who never drink alcohol are not recommended to drink red wine to prevent heart disease..
Red wine and other wines, is not good for your heart even if you drink it in moderation.
Recent studies have shown that drinking alcohol increases the risk of atrial fibrillation. Drinking 1 unit per day (1 serving is equivalent to 355ml of beer, 150ml of wine or 45 ml of 40-degree liquor) increases the risk of atrial fibrillation by 8%, and atrial fibrillation can cause cerebral apoplexy, so even a small amount of drinking is not helpful for preventing cardiovascular diseases.
Drinking will increase the chances of cancers such as oral cavity, throat, esophagus, colorectal and breast, especially for female breast cancer. There is no threshold relationship between drinking and breast cancer. As long as drinking, the risk of breast cancer will increase. It has nothing to do with how much to drink and how long to drink.
People who never drink alcohol should not expect drinking to prevent heart disease.
