Book Description
Red wine and the French Paradox tell you many facts about the French food and alcohol on our health.
The French eat the fattiest foods in the world, but they have less coronary diseases compared to Americans. The reasons include: they eat lot of salads, nuts, beans and fruits too along with many fatty foods. The French eat very slowly compared to the Americans. They do more physical activities compared to the Americans too. Moreover, they drink a lot of red wine mixed with water (1:1) during their meals too. These all are the reasons for not having much coronary diseases.
Red wine is a continuous source of polyphenols, antioxidants including resveratrol and other phytochemicals. Resveratrol can bring down the cholesterol level in the blood. Alcohol in low level brings down the blood pressure too.
In this book you get all the information about resveratrol. I have worked with food for the past 40 years. In the last chapter I tell you my practical experiences about red wine and its role in our health.
