Consumption of wine is good for persons with cardiac problem. Is it true?

Question

Frequent consumption of other hot drinks like whisky and rum increase the level of bad cholesterol and one becomes obese mainly due to that reason . So, it is better to have red wine which is good for every one particularly for cardiac patients, if taken in moderate quantity.

Answer 1

yes it is true,
wine has some compounds such as RESEVERETROL wich is a key compound that escapes us from cardiac diseases. this compound lowers the level of cholesterol and also make he blood thin.

Answer 2

Research is being done to find out what the apparent benefits of drinking wine or alcohol in some populations may be due to, including the role of antioxidants, an increase in HDL ("good") cholesterol or anti-clotting properties. Clinical trials of other antioxidants such as vitamin E have not shown any cardio-protective effect. Also, even if they were protective, antioxidants can be obtained from many fruits and vegetables, including red grape juice.

The best-known effect of alcohol is a small increase in HDL cholesterol
However, regular physical activity is another effective way to raise HDL cholesterol, and niacin can be prescribed to raise it to a greater degree. Alcohol or some substances such as resveratrol (res-VAIR'ah-trol) found in alcoholic beverages may prevent platelets in the blood from sticking together. That may reduce clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. (Aspirin may help reduce blood clotting in a similar way.) How alcohol or wine affects cardiovascular risk merits further research,
but right now the American Heart Association does not recommend drinking wine or any other form of alcohol to gain these potential benefits.
The AHA does recommend that to reduce your risk you should talk to your doctor about lowering your cholesterol and blood pressure, controlling your weight, getting enough exercise and following a healthy diet. There is no scientific proof that drinking wine or any other alcoholic beverage can replace these conventional measures

Answer 3

any thing beyond certain limits got to be bad. even too much drinking of water can cause water intoxication and permanent brain damage. that way all beverages give what is called empty calories.they cannot be burned completely and hence they are converted by body into fat stores. moderate consumption of red wine (less than 80 ml per week) causes reduction in bad(LDL) cholesterol and increase in good(HDL) cholesterol. i dont know the exact ingredient for this reason. so, boy enjoy your weekend with redwine in small amounts or take the brunt of drinking a boottle of beer... good luck

I don't know if the other stuff causes anything other then damage to your liver. Most things are okay in moderation, 1 glass of red wine a day is plenty for heart health, you should never mix wine and hard liquor.
