Is a glass of wine every day really good?
In certain studies they have been related to weight loss, benefits for the heart... Hence the idea that "a glass of wine a day is good" arises.
It is well known that alcohol is bad for the body. There is no doubt about it. When it comes to encountering wine, we truly encounter a contradiction. Wine contains alcohol, so its abuse will obviously end up harming us. Along with this, it also contains a series of antioxidants, which in certain studies have been related to weight loss, benefits for the heart and etc. Hence the idea of **“a glass of wine daily is good”. But how much of this is true? Although there have been studies, it is very important to mention that these, despite showing many benefits, when carefully read it is easy to find certain things that make us doubt. The first thing to mention is that these studies have not been done in humans. So we can say with certainty that the effect of daily wine consumption on the human body as such has not been analyzed. What has been done are inferences. Another very interesting point is that many of the benefits mentioned actually come from grapes. Which means that the same benefits can be obtained from grape juice or the fruit itself. It is important to mention it because this means that we would be consuming alcohol every day. Which, in other research, has been shown that doing so, even distributed in glasses of wine throughout the day, is still just as harmful to the body. The current recommendation is: Drinking wine in moderate quantities is not bad and it would be best if, even if it is a glass, it is not done daily.
