Benefits for health, beauty
Reduce stress and improve sleep
Red wine has a high content of melatonin which can help the brain reduce stress and induce sleep. If we often suffer from sleepiness difficulties or insomnia, let’s try a glass of red wine or mulled wine about 1 hour before going to bed. Absolutely, we will find a significant change in our sleep.
Prevent heart diseases
We all know that red wine is fermented from grapes. Grapes are among the fruits which contain many anti-oxidized substances, including resveratrol, catechin, epicatechin and proanthocyanidin. These elements are especially good for health.
Proanthocyanidin can decline the damage and oxidation process inside the human body. Besides, they can help prevent heart diseases and cancers.
Resveratrol can be found in grape peel, playing a role in restraining the oxidation process. This anti-oxidized substance is proven to help anti-inflammatory, blood coagulation, and decrease risks of suffering from heart diseases and cancers.
It would be great if we can sip mulled wine at Christmas.
Improving gut health
The cloves in mulled wine are thought to help increase gut motility, as well as improving digestion. As a result, the cloves are thought to improve digestive problems, including indigestion, wind and constipation.
Detoxing
The nutmeg in mulled wine may help clear the liver and kidneys of toxins, and is particularly effective as a liver tonic. Nutmeg can apparently also help prevent kidney stones from forming.
Beating colds
The antioxidants in red wine could even help fight infections and support immunity: A Spanish study found people who drank more than 14 glasses of wine a week had a 40 percent lower risk of getting a cold than teetotalers. Cloves are also believed to have anti-viral properties.
Pain killing
The essential oil eugenol, found in cloves, has local anesthetic and antiseptic properties that can be used to treat dental problems like toothache.
We can try a cup of mulled wine with some cookies.
