Beneficios del consumo de vino en México

The wine has been present since ancient times, and it is even mentioned in many passages of the Bible. We also have the famous representation of “The wedding at Cana” by Paolo Veronese, in which the outstanding role of wine can be seen in such an important event as a wedding. Even over time, throughout history, it has been found that it was much safer to drink wine that simple water (from the Middle Ages to prevent diseases such as plague or leprosy); this matter has become so important that wine has been included within the Mediterranean diet as a “basic food.” With this study, it is sought to know whether the consumption of red wine prevents cardiovascular diseases (CVD) through its interaction with the antioxidants it contains. This is why much data was reviewed on other studies, as well as information from important sources on internet platforms. As a purpose, this paper is intended to inform the readers about the importance of having an adequate —as well as balanced— food, and the recommended intake of red wine (1 cup for women, 2 cups for men, 250 ml both). For this, it is expected to continue the research of this topic related to health, since CVD can be prevented, as well as improve the country’s economy.
