The Medicinal Value Of Wines: They Risks And Health Effects

http://goodhealthfront.blogspot.com/

I run to the dictionary for help on the word wine; and I meet what I do not expect. One online dictionary says it is a fermenting grape juice turned into alcohol. Another holds that it is anything that has an altering effect on the mind.

I think both are saying the same thing in a different way. One thing is clear here that an alcohol can alter the normal mind. This then brings an alcohol under a beverage. Coffee and tea are also beverage is reasonable here. Coffee and tea affect both the mind and mood but are not alcoholic drinks.

Normally, a beverage is a liquid suitable for drinking only. Whether it is a juice is not the point. It is anything that you drink. In this case, water is also a beverage and the best ever.

Coffee and tea alter the mind but are not alcohols as said earlier. Drugs are not exceptions because these can alter the mind with hallucinating effect. With all this said, let’s turn our attention solely to wine or grape juice for the moment.

Wine here will be use only for grape juice. Whether it is ferment or not is not an issue. But 1% ferment wine has medicinal value more than the zero percent non-alcoholic wines.

I know of someone who compliant too much of heart problem and I notice this woman has a liking for these non-alcoholic sparkling red wines. She will drink down three glasses at a time and that in a day. Anytime I went to a function with this lady, I see the same feat repeated again and again. When in her element, she will call my attention to the enjoyment. Could she do this in her house? There is no doubt about it since she is rich.

While, what do you think is the content of sparkling red or blue wine? Natural sugar, that is glucose or what do you think it is?

All the promised goodness in the liquid still put this lady into a problem. Whether you take a glass a day you still get a problem like any sugary products.

Wines, if you think otherwise, are usually alcoholic. Here it is at its best. Just 1% alcoholic is very meaningful and vital for the health of the body. Some have up to 10% alcohol strong the remaining contents being vitamins, essences, wine or natural grape juice, herbs, 1% alcohol in wine can alter the mind moderately. 

Wine is not an ordinary liquid. It is a medicine, and can be classed along with drugs. There is this wine called palm wine which is fond of in some African countries and other parts of the sub-topic. The freshly taped brew seems very sweet and potent. A glassful is enough to sent one into trouble as our lady friend above. 

After drinking the white stuff down, it can ferment itself in the belly of the drinker unless you take it with a very rich plate of chop with plenty of protein and fats. It is the oils from the protein and fats that will contained the fermentation process.

I remember my first encounter with this nature’s product. After drinking two glasses for a penny, and moments later, I ask one of my big cousin if I ran under the tyre of a running trunk, will I got a wound?! He said I was being intoxicated. I think I was around 13 years then. Later, I was in a classroom with a good teacher who had a background in cultivating the palm wine.

He was being examined for his teacher’s certificate and gave a good lecture on the palm wine:

·         It contains glucose with some water.

·         Contain B-complex.

·         Gives energy due to glucose.

·         Can intoxicate and give health issues.

Many have lost all their senses to such a drink.

Okay, let’s get to the modern varieties of bottled wines. It does not make any difference with the local palm wine. The only exception being that its alcoholic content is controlled to certain percentages.

Now, if you are like me, and you take half a glass before meal say immediately after drinking the liquid, and you start eating, I think you will feel unease after the meal. It seems the wine will interfer with the digestion and release an un-agree odor within the belly. But if you have to wait for say 10-15 minutes after drinking the wine, and then starts eating all is well. I do not know why this is so and I allow others who have the knowledge to explain. Perhaps, I think it will not ferment with the food given some time in the belly.

But with non-alcoholic red wines, this is not possible. You can drink it during meal as water and you will not experience the fermentation in the belly.

So where do we go from here? Is wine a medicine? Is it good? Has it any value?

All the answers can be a plus to good health if care is taken. 

1.      Wine is one of the best medicines next only to water. It is a natural beverage with a strong effect on the mind. In fact one best meaning I know of wine is any liquid that effect the mind. It can be negative or positive. But here we take on the plus side.

2.      We know in ayurvedic or Japanese water therapy that drinking 4 to 5 glasses of water very early in the morning has a cleansing effect on the digestive system, which in turn will restore good health to the body. If you do not eat after 45 to 60 minutes, except that you are fasting, you are destroying your body with ill-health or starvation!

3.      If after the 45 minutes you take ¼ of a glass of wine when you have no health issue, the wine will positively affect the central nervous system. It will dilated it and the flow of blood and other food nutrients especially glucose to the brain seems bright. You know the brain needs sugar and most of the time we starve it of this need. Not that we do not have sugar in the blood we have but it is not being used by the brain sufficiently. This is why drug companies include alcohol in their products.

4.      The basic of this is that alcohol is first absorbed through the stomach walls via, a finger-like lying the villi.

5.      Remember while you take the wine, your tummy has some water in it. This will neutralize and moderate the alcoholic content with no mental effect or alter mind noticed.

6.      If you have low blood pressure, after drinking your early morning water, the wine will moderately raise the blood pressure. Wait after 15 minutes then eat a very good breakfast rich in complex carbohydrates, unprocessed fats and proteins, plus fruits and vegetables, including some variety of nuts.

7.      Include much fish or seafood as the protein.

8.      Doing this daily for 7 days, and as you gain some pounds during the digestion, your blood pressure will rise to normal and safe level.

 Specific Health Effects 

·         Heart health: a decrease in heart disease, diabetes mellitus and stroke.

This is one of the good things about wines.

I am a fisher and from making fishing nets, swirling fishing nets in the river; also dropping and dragging fishing nets and removing the trapped fishes from the fishing net, can make my back a wretch. It usual crack and pop. It seems to need messaging in the inside intricate framework of nerves and muscles. Drugs as I have noticed did not help matters. Half a glass of tonic wine I drink has restore good health to these wreck backs. 

Negative Health Effects

Drinking more than a glass of any wine has many negative side effects. It has sent some to their early grave.

If you do not drink wine, there is no sense in starting to drink now. I am not a social drinker and I do not know any benefit to get from becoming such a one. Wine taken too much or in moderation as seen in my case when I was a boy is a serious risk.

You see above how I use wine to treat my low blood pressure. I have not experience the challenge again after more than six years. I use it with water therapy and eat well. So I do not experience any of the immediate side issues.

Here are some serious minus sides of using wine:

·         High blood pressure, your blood pressure will rise above the normal and can result in heart attack.

·         It speeds up the aging process. You will look older and feeble. Alcohol is a fuel and excessive use in the body help burns up the healthy cells. No wonder persons who drink alcoholic beverages daily get older quick.

·         Stroke, your nerves and muscles get paralyses and you babble, talking nonsense like a drunk or a babe.

·         Accidents and violence, among young person due to inability to reason properly.

·         Early death that can be due to motor accidents.

·         Liver cirrhosis. Don’t you worry when your liver is chopped off by the surgeon’s blade you will understand. You may live but you will lose your life if you continue therein. 

·         You will become an alcoholic and alcoholism is a bad habit hard to get rid of. For breakfast, you think alcoholic, for snack you think same; and one hardly think of getting something very nutritious and good to eat.

·         It reduces life expectancy by ten years compare this with jogging which increases the life span by fifteen years.

It is up to each person to make an inform decision.

To your good health!
