Suzie tested for you…. red wine to improve her memory!
A month ago, at noon, after a nice little meal, I poured myself a glass of red wine.
It had been a long time since I took the time to enjoy a good glass of wine. You are probably wondering what made me take up an old habit!
So here are a few explanations:
For several days, I came across a very interesting article on my tablet. The article in question talked about a scientific discovery made by American researchers. Their research focused on Resveratrol. A component found in some fruits and nuts.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant capable of slowing down memory loss. This element can be found in grapes and consequently in wine. This is very good news for those who are already used to having a glass from time to time.
Red wine not only helps slow down the effects of aging but also improves our memory. Resveratrol thus allows the creation of new spatial memories. This means that wine could help us reconstruct events more easily.
This would allow us to remember our grandchildren's mobile numbers more easily, which change far too often. Or simply, to remember our little list before going shopping.
Surprised by the benefits of wine, I continued my research. After several hours spent on my tablet, I understood what was happening in my body after a glass. Apparently, after a fairly regular wine consumption, our brain doubles its capacity to develop neurons. This is more difficult after a certain age.
All this would lead to improved memory, learning, and our mood.
Tempted by the idea of improving my memory, I looked into how much wine one should drink per day. On almost all health-related sites, it is advised to have one to three glasses per day. It is also recommended to take into account each person's weight. If you are light, it is advisable to consume a small amount.
But be careful! One should not believe that if one drinks six glasses in a single day, one will obtain the same benefits as with moderate consumption. There is no question of falling into the subject of alcoholism.
It is certain that I will try to include more and more wine in my diet in a balanced way. For a month now, I allow myself a glass of wine regularly, almost every day, and I already feel a difference.
Before I go, I wanted to tell you that other products contain this miraculous element, Resveratrol. Because we are not all great wine lovers. This antioxidant can also be found in chocolate, blackberries, nuts, or blueberries.
Thus, consuming red wine, in moderation, allows one to improve their memory!
