It is true that red wine is good for cardiovascular health but don’t worry if you don’t like that because grape juice is sufficient to avail similar health benefits. French scientists have propounded this fact after they found grape juice as effective as red wine. Telling more on this issue Dr Valerie Schini-Kerth, lead author of the study said:
Grape juice can have a similar effect (against heart disease) as red wine but without the alcohol. That is a very important message.
Actually, red wine and certain types of grape juice have high levels of polyphenols, which block the production of a protein linked to cardiovascular disease. Moreover, these scientists found that polyphenols in Concord grape juice activate endothelial cells to produce nitric oxide, which helps to protect against cardiovascular disease and to maintain healthy blood vessels and blood pressure.
It means now you need not to buy expensive red wine to avail its health benefits since daily a glass of grape juice is enough to keep your heart healthy.
