Already Caesar
ordered his troops always to carry a bottle of wine and to cultivate vine if
the conquer was going to be longer. The general, who appreciated a sip of good
wine, saw in “vinum bonum” a preventive medicine against chill and several
epidemics.
Scientific results
made two thousand years later proved that he Roman was right. The Englishman A.
Pick noticed that wine kills streptococci and cholera- and typhus cause within
few minutes. Meanwhile there are more scientific results to “Wine and Health”.
They say that moderate consuming of wine, especially red wine, lowers the risk
from being affected of arteriosclerosis, strokes and heart attacks up to 50%
than normal. Constant but moderate consuming of wine lowers the cholesterol
level
The results: Lower
calcification of the haemals, arteries, lower risk of arteries lockdown and
thromboses. Enlargement of the coronary vessel, activation of the general blood
circulation. A special favoritism is caused by the in red wine contained phenol
“Resveratrol”. Wine is the eldest medicine of human mankind, the eldest
medicine for sedation and relaxation, and an ancient medicine against
psychological disease. Every nation follows the same two rules: the moderate
consuming and the enjoyment of only high quality wine.
Even the bible
teaches: “Drink wine, but
in moderation; use it, but don't abuse it; be wise and be sober”
A small sensation
was caused by the American Government as they decided to accept the wine as
health aspect. Any consuming of alcohol was consequently condemned by the
American congress. Meanwhile new worldwide studies assessed the use of alcohol
in connection with healthy food and came to the conclusion: moderate enjoy of
wine while eating.
This is not a new message for friends of wine. The death of
humans caused by cardiovascular diseases is in every
country
in the Mediterranean area, especially France, where
a glass of wine is duty, much lower than in other comparable countries. Wine is considered as a medical aid for
modern therapies. Wine offers a clearly set limit with its tannin acid, does
strain the body fewer than beer, can be batched better than spirits, offers a
better life expectancy to drinker as well as to sober people.
Enjoyment of the
wine does have a special relevance to older people and convalescents and is
considered as “milk of the aged”.
Enjoyment of the
wine does help to relax the body, soul and spirit, does quicken the appetite,
does assist the digestion and metabolism, supports the heart, circulation and
nervous system, allays pain and shocks.
Enjoyment of the
wine can be a perfect dietary supplement as calorie- and mineral carrier and
can therefor impart vitality, a perfect base for a objective and subjective
wellbeing.
Moderate enjoyment
does replace several medicine. Clean, high quality wine enjoyed in moderation
is a medicine for people under and a need for people over forty.
