Ladies, did you know that grapes and wine can be used for health and cosmetic purposes? As proven by several epidemiological studies over the past 35 years, the moderate consumption of wine can be beneficial.
Polyphenol is an antioxidant found in red grape skins and can aid in preventing heart disease by lowering bad (LDL) cholesterol. More than 25 antioxidants have been identified in wine and these are generally more powerful than vitamin E, having positive cardio-protective effects.
The compounds found in wine grapes can also be used for cosmetic purposes. Grapes seeds contain Vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid and OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes). These are powerful antioxidants and according to the Food Research Center in Canada, grape seed extract protects the skin from sun damage, while also improving skin elasticity. Many cosmetic brands are now using grape seed extract as a principal ingredient in their beauty products (capsules, creams or oils).
For those who prefer to drink a glass of Malbec or Cabernet Sauvignon, they will also boost your health!
