Red Wine : Health 

Benefits & Risks 

Words : Yvette Brazier Pics : Google Image 

Wine, and especially 

red wine, has been 

studied extensively. 

Evidence suggests that 

moderate consumption 

may help people live 

longer, protect against 

certain cancers, improve 

mental health, and 

enhance heart health. 

Centuries ago, wine 

was used treat various 

health conditions. 

Medieval monasteries 

were convinced that 

their monks lived longer 

than the rest of the 

population partly because 

of their moderate, regular 

consumption of wine. In 

recent years, science has 

indicated that this could 

be true. 

However, any health 

benefits only apply to 

moderate drinking. The 

United States (U.S.) 

Dietary Guidelines 2015 

to 2020 define moderate 

drinking as: "Up to one 

drink per day for women, 

and up to two drinks per 

day for men, and only by 

adults of legal drinking 

age." 

Some people should 

not drink at all. It is best 

to discuss any planned 

increase in consumption 

with a doctor. 


Fast facts on the 

possible benefits 

• Red wine is high in resveratrol, and it 

may offer various health benefits. 

• Resveratrol may boost heart health, 

protect against some kinds of cancer, 

and prevent some types of vision loss. 

• Grapes and berries are a better source 

of resveratrol than red wine, so eating 

these is likely to be more healthful than 

drinking wine. 

• However, if you are going to drink, red 

wine appears to be more healthful than 

some kinds of alcoholic beverage. 

• Women should not drink more than one 

glass a day, and men, two glasses. 

“16 

Health Benefits” 

Research indicates that red wine can 

boost a range of health factors. 

Several of these are based on the 

presence of resveratrol, a compound that 

is believed to offer a number of benefits. 

Resveratrol is a compound that some 

plants produce to fight off bacteria and 

fungi, and to protect against ultraviolet 

(UV) irradiation. The resveratrol in wine 

comes from the skins of red grapes. 

Blueberries, cranberries, and peanuts 

are also sources of resveratrol, and it is 

available in supplement form. 

Evidence suggests that in some forms, 

resveratrol may boost cardiovascular 

health, protect against cancer, and help 

treat acne, among others. Red wine 

contains resveratrol, but it may not be 

the best way to consume it, because 

the intake of alcohol brings it own risks. 

1. Gut microbiome and 

cardiovascular health 

Resveratrol may improve heart health 

in various ways. In 2016, researchers 

suggested that it could reduce the risk 

of heart disease through the way it 

affects the gut microbiome. 


7

2. Raising levels of 

omega-3 fatty acids 

A little alcoholic drink, and 

especially red wine, appears to 

boost levels of omega-3 fatty acids 

in plasma and red blood cells. 

Omega-3 fatty acids, believed to 

protect against heart disease, are 

usually derived from eating fish. 

Researchers found that, in 1,604 

adult participants, regular, moderate 

wine drinking was linked to higher 

blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids. 

3. Heart health and 

type-2 diabetes 

One study has shown that 

drinking a glass of red wine with 

dinner "modestly decreases 

cardiometabolic risk" in people with 

type-2 diabetes, and that a moderate 

intake of red wine is safe. 

The scientists believe that the 

ethanol in wine plays a key role 

in metabolizing glucose, and that 

the nonalcoholic ingredients may 

also contribute. They call for more 

research to confirm the findings. 

Anyone with diabetes should check 

with their doctor before consuming 

alcohol. 

4. Healthy blood 

vessels and blood 

pressure 

In 2006, scientists from the 

United Kingdom (U.K.) found that 

procyanidins, compounds commonly 

found in red wine, help keep the 

blood vessels healthy. Traditional 

production methods appear to be 

most effective in extracting the 

compounds, leading to higher levels 


of procyanidins in the wine. 

Many people find an alcoholic drink 

relaxes them, but results published in 

2012 indicate that nonalcoholic red 

wine, too, can reduce blood pressure. 

This could be a more healthful option. 

5. Brain damage 

after stroke 

Resveratrol may protect the brain 

from stroke damage, according to 

researchers at Johns Hopkins University 

School of Medicine. 

Results from tests on mice showed that 

resveratrol increased levels of heme 

oxygenase, an enzyme known to protect 

nerve cells in the brain from damage. 

When a stroke occurs, the brain is 

ready to protect itself because of 

higher enzyme levels. It remains unclear 

whether the health benefits are due to 

the resveratrol itself, or if the alcohol in 

the wine is needed to concentrate the 

levels of the compound.

6. Preventing 

vision loss 

Resveratrol in red wine 

may help prevent vision 

loss caused by out-ofcontrol 

blood vessel 

growth in the eye, 

according to findings 

published in 2010. 

Diabetic retinopathy 

and age-related macular 

degeneration are leading 

causes of blindness among 

Americans aged 50 years 

and above. This is due to 

an overgrowth of blood 

vessels in the eye, known 

as angiogenesis. 

If further research 

confirms findings, the 

scientists believe it could 

help not only people 

with vision problems due 

to diabetes, but those 

with atherosclerosis, 

cardiovascular disease, 

and other causes of retinal 

detachment. 

7. Preventing 

colon cancer 

Scientists in the U.K. 

reported in 2015 that 

consuming low doses of 

resveratrol can reduce the 

size of bowel tumors by 


approximately 50 percent. 

Higher doses reduced 

tumor size by 25 percent. 

However, other experts 

point out that alcohol 

is strongly linked to 

different types of cancer, 

and that any benefit 

from resveratrol is likely 

to be outweighed by the 

negative effects of the 

alcohol. 

8. Preventing 

breast cancer 

Regular consumption 

of most alcoholic drinks 

increases the risk of breast 

cancer. However, thanks 

to chemicals in the seeds 

and skins of red grapes, 

women who drink red wine 

in moderation may be 

spared this risk. 

Normally, alcohol increases 

a woman's estrogen levels, 

and this encourages the 

growth of cancer cells. 

However, the aromatase 

inhibitors (AIs) that are 

present in red wine, and to 

a lesser extent white wine, 

reduce estrogen levels 

and increase testosterone 

in women approaching 

menopause. 

It is the grape rather than 

the wine that primarily 

provides these beneficial 

compounds, so eating red 

grapes is more healthful 

than drinking red wine. 

Nevertheless, if a woman 

is going to choose an 

alcoholic drink, red wine 

might be a better option, 

compared with other 

beverages. Scientists have 

questioned the claims of 

this study and insist that 

"alcoholic beverages cause 

breast cancer independent 

of beverage type." 

9. Improving 

lung function 

and preventing 

lung cancer 

Low doses of red wine, 

and to a lesser extent 

white wine, may boost 

lung function and prevent 

lung cancer cells from 

proliferating, according to 

at least one investigation. 

10. Protection 

from prostate 

cancer 

A study published in 2007 

reported that, in men who 

drink moderate amounts 

of red wine, the chance 

of being diagnosed with 

prostate cancer is around 

half that of men who never 

drink red wine. 

The researchers defined 

moderate drinking as an 

average of four to seven 

glasses of red wine per 

week. Those who drank 

one glass a week were 

6 percent less likely to 

develop prostate cancer 

than those who never 

drank it.

11. Preventing 

dementia 

A team from Loyola 

University Medical Center 

found that moderate red 

wine intake can reduce 

the risk of developing 

dementia. 

A long-term study of 

data from 19 nations 

found a statistically 

significant lower risk of 

dementia among regular, 

moderate red wine 

drinkers in 14 countries. 

Resveratrol, explained 

the investigators, is 

key to this benefit. By 

reducing the stickiness of 

blood platelets, it helps 

keep the blood vessels 

open and flexible, and 

this promotes a good 

supply of blood to the 

brain. 

Red and white wines 

both contain resveratrol, 

but red wine has more. 

The skin of red grapes 

has very high levels 

of resveratrol. The 

manufacturing process 

of red wine, involves 

prolonged contact with 

grape skins. 

The researchers note: 

"We don't recommend 

that nondrinkers 

start drinking. But 

moderate drinking, if it 

is truly moderate, can be 

beneficial." A 2015 study 

found that a high dose of 

resveratrol appeared to 

stabilize a key biomarker 

for Alzheimer's. The 

amount needed, however, 

is far higher than anyone 

would get from a glass 

of wine. The participants 

took a-1 gram (g) 

supplement by mouth 

twice a day, equivalent 

to the amount in 1,000 

bottles of wine. 

12. Reducing 

risk of 

depression 

A team of researchers 

from Spain reported in 

2013 that drinking wine 

may reduce the risk of 

depression. 

A study of data for 

around 5,500 men 

and women aged from 

55 to 80 years over a 

7-year period showed 

that those who drank 

between two and seven 

glasses of wine each 

week were less likely to 

receive a diagnosis of 

depression, even after 

taking lifestyle factors 

into consideration. 

13. Protecting 

from severe 

sunburn 

Wine and grape 

derivatives can help 

protect the skin from 

the damaging effects of 

UV light from the sun, 

according to scientists 

from Spain. 

The team found that 

when UV rays make 

contact with human skin, 

they activate reactive 

oxygen species (ROS), 

which oxidize fats, 

DNA, and other large 

molecules. These, in turn, 

stimulate other enzymes 

that harm skin cells. 

Wine and grapes contain 

flavonoids. These inhibit 

the formation of the 

ROS in skin cells that are 

exposed to sunlight. 

Rather than drinking 

more wine, however, 

the researchers suggest 

incorporating grapes and 

grape derivatives into 

sun protection products. 


liver disease 

Modest wine 

consumption may cut the 

risk of nonalcoholic fatty 

liver disease (NAFLD) 

by half in those who are 

at risk of the condition, 

compared with never 

drinking wine. 

The finding, published 

by researchers from the 

University of California 

San Diego School of 

Medicine, is controversial. 

They note that only 

moderate consumption 

will bring benefits, and

suggest a maximum of 

one glass a day for people 

at risk of coronary heart 

disease and NAFLD. 

Those who regularly and 

moderately drink beer or 

liquor, say the scientists, 

have a four-times higher 

risk than those who drink 

red wine. Anyone who 

already has hepatitis or any 

other kind of liver disease 

should avoid alcohol 

altogether. 


dental cavities 

Red wine may help prevent 

dental cavities by getting 

rid of bacteria on the teeth, 

according to research 

published in 2014, in the 

Journal of Agricultural and 

Food Chemistry (ACS). 

16. Treating acne 

Research has indicated 

that resveratrol, with its 

antioxidant and antiinflammatory 

action, 

could help treat acne. 

The scientists suggest 

combining it with benzoyl 

peroxide and applying 

it directly to the skin, to 

maximize antibacterial 

activity. 

However, there is no 

evidence that drinking red 

wine has the same effect. 

Red or white wine? 

Resveratrol appears to underlie many of the 

health benefits of red wine. Red wine contains 

more resveratrol than white wine, because it 

is fermented with the skins, but awhite wine is 

not. Most of the resveratrol in grapes is in the 

seeds and skin. Non-alcoholic red wines may 

also include beneficial amounts of resveratrol. 

Other good sources are grapes, blueberries, 

raspberries, bilberries, and peanuts. 

Cautions & Risks : 

Wine consumption may have some health 

benefits, but drinking too much of any kind of 

alcoholic drink increases the risk of: 

addiction 

depression 

mental health problems 

cardiomyopathy 

arrhythmias 

stroke 

hypertension 

fatty liver 

alcoholic hepatitis 

cirrhosis 

several cancers 

pancreatitis 

Many other chronic diseases can result from 

excessive alcohol consumption. 

In 2016, scientists found that alcohol 

consumption is linked to a higher risk of 

invasive melanoma. Worldwide, around 3.6 

percent of cancers are attributed to alcohol. 

In 2016, the U.K. government issued a warning 

that there is no safe level of alcohol. They 

advise people to achieve better health through 

"eating less and exercising more." 

Ultimately, many of the benefits linked to red 

wine are really benefits of resveratrol. Eating 

grapes and berries may be a more healthful 

option.

Tips for growing the best vegeatbles possible 

Whether you’re new to growing or a seasoned expert, our 

collection of 25 vegetable gardening tips will help. Enjoy! 

1. If its getting cold and you have 

tomatoes still ripening on the vine — 

save your tomatoes! Pull the plants up 

and bring them inside to a warm dry 

place. Hang them up, and the tomatoes 

will ripen on the vine. 

2. Companion planting is an excellent 

way to improve your garden. Some 

plants replenish 

nutrients lost by 

another one, 

and some 

combinations effectively keep pests 

away. 

3. Paint the handles of your gardens 

tools a bright, color other than green 

to help you find them amongst your 

plants. You can also keep a mailbox in 

your garden for easy tool storage. 

4. Compost needs time to integrate and 

stabilize in the soil. Apply two to three 

weeks prior to planting. 

5. There is an easy way to mix compost 

into your soil without a lot of back 

breaking work: Spread the compost 

over your garden in the late fall, after 

all the harvesting is done. Cover with a 

winter mulch such as hay or chopped 

leaves and let nature take its course. 

By spring, the melting snow and 

soil organisms will have worked the 

compost in for you. 

6. Like vining vegetables, but don’t 

have the room? Train your melons, 

squash, and cucumbers onto a 

vertical trellis or fence. Saves space

and looks pretty too. 

7. Garden vegetables that 

become over-ripe are 

an easy target for some 

pests. Remove them as 

soon as possible to avoid 

detection. 

8. Onions are ready to 

harvest when the tops 

have fallen over. Let the 

soil dry out, harvest, and 

store in a warm, dry, dark 

place until the tops dry. 

Cut off the foliage down 

to an inch, then store in a 

cool, dry area. 

9. Keep dirt off lettuce 

and cabbage leaves when 

growing by spreading a 

1-2 inch layer of mulch 

(untreated by pesticides 

or fertilizers) around each 

plant. This also helps keep 

the weeds down. 

10. When planting a 

flower or vegetable 

transplant, deposit a 

handful of compost into 

each hole. Compost will 

provide transplants with 

an extra boost that lasts 

throughout the growing 

season. 

11. Insects can’t stand 

plants such as garlic, 

onions, chives and 

chrysanthemums. Grow 

these plants around the 

garden to help repel 

insects. 

12. Milk jugs, soda 

bottles and other plastic 

containers make great 

mini-covers to place over 

your plants and protect 

them from frost. 

13. For easy peas, start 

them indoors. The 

germination rate is far 

better, and the seedlings 

will be healthier and 

better able to fight off 

pests and disease. 

14. Healthy soil means 

healthy plants that are 

better able to resist pests 

and disease, reducing 

the need for harmful 

pesticides. 

15. Another reason 

to use natural and 

organic fertilizers and 

soil amendments: 

earthworms love 

them! Earthworms are 

extremely beneficial 

in the vegetable 

garden; increasing 

air space in the soil 

and leaving behind 

worm castings. 

Do what you can 

to encourage 

earthworms in your 

soil. 

16. Diatomaceous 

earth makes an 

excellent organic 

insecticide – it is an 

abrasive white powder 

used to damage the 

cuticle, skin and joints of 

insects. It also makes an 

excellent slug barrier. 

17. Some vegetables 

actually become better 

after a first frost, 

including kale, cabbage, 

parsnips, carrots, and 

Brussels sprouts. 

18. When transplanting 

tomatoes, cover the stem 

with soil all the way up 

to the first set of leaves. 

This greatly encourages 

root growth, making a 

stronger, healthier plant. 

19. Healthy soil means 

a thriving population of 

microbes, earthworms 

and other organisms. 

A soil that has “good 

tilth” will produce robust 

garden plants that are 

better able to resist pests 

and disease.

Sustainable Living 

20. A simple five percent 

increase in organic 

material (compost) 

quadruples the soil’s 

ability to store water. 

21. Plants will do best 

if they are well suited 

to your growing area. 

Take some time to read 

up and choose plants 

accordingly. 

22. Keep garden 

vegetables from getting 

dirty by spreading a 

1-2 inch layer of mulch 

(untreated by pesticides 

or fertilizers) around 

each plant. This will also 

help keep the weeds 

down. 

23. Water your garden 

in the early morning 

to conserve moisture 

loss and to help avoid 

powdery mildew and 

other fungal diseases 

that are often spread by 

high humidity levels. 

24. If you’re short on 

space, garlic, leeks and 

shallots make excellent 

container plants. They 

tend to have few insect 

or disease problems and 

don’t require much room 

for roots. 

25. Over watering 

is worse than under 

watering. It is easier to 

revive a dry plant than 

try to dry out drowned 

roots.

Tequila 

Lime Chicken 

Recipe By : Ina Garten of Barefoot Contessa Episode : Tex Mex 

What you need : 

1/2 cup gold tequila 

1 cup freshly squeezed lime juice 

(5 to 6 limes) 

1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange 

juice (2 oranges) 

1 tablespoon chili powder 

1 tablespoon minced fresh 

jalapeno pepper (1 pepper seeded) 

1 tablespoon minced fresh 

garlic (3 cloves) 

2 teaspoons kosher salt 

1 teaspoon freshly ground 

black pepper 

3 whole (6 split) boneless 

chicken breasts, skin on 

Combine the tequila, lime juice, orange 

juice, chili powder, jalapeno pepper, 

garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. 

Add the chicken breasts. Refrigerate 

overnight. 

Heat a grill with coals and brush the 

rack with oil to prevent the chicken from 

sticking. Remove the chicken breasts from 

the marinade, sprinkle well with salt and 

pepper, and grill them skin-side down for 

about 5 minutes, until nicely browned. 

Turn the chicken and cook for another 

10 minutes, until just cooked through. 

Remove from the grill to a plate. Cover 

tightly and allow to rest for 5 minutes. 

Serve hot or at room temperature.

Education 

HEY KIDS! 

Learn to make 

Straw Gliders 

WORDS : Kim Stoegbauer 

SOURCE : DIY NETWORK (www.diynetwork.com) 

They may not look like regular paper airplanes, but they are 

guaranteed to fly every time. Assemble several in different 

colors and let the flying competitions begin. 


Step 1 Step 2 

You'll need: paper straws, scissors/ 

paper cutter, cardstock and clear 

tape. 

Start by cutting 12cm x 2.5cm strips 

of card stock. Each airplane will need 

three strips. 

Step 3 Step 4 

Tape two of the strips together 

at the ends. You now have one 

12cm strip and one strip that is 

approximately 24cm long 

Step 5 

Once both circles are made, use a piece of tape 

to secure the end of the straw inside the large 

circle. Repeat the step with the small circle, 

securing it to the opposite end of the straw. 

Tape the ends of each strip together 

to create a circle. Repeat this step on 

the other strip.
