Red wine consumption has been the subject of much research and debate regarding its potential health benefits. Some studies suggest that moderate red wine consumption may have certain positive effects on health. Although the findings are inconclusive, more research is needed to understand the relationship between red wine and health.
Now research suggests that an occasional red wine could potentially enhance one’s sex life.
According to the research, which came as a result of reviewing previous studies- men who consume one or two drinks of red wine per day may have a reduced risk of experiencing erectile dysfunction. Furthermore, the research suggests that women may also experience benefits, with red wine potentially enhancing their libido. Moreover, certain plant compounds present in red wine helps in improving blood flow, increasing testosterone levels, and stimulating sexual organs.
Polyphenols are crucial for red wine’s positive effects on sexual health, according to the researchers.
These compounds are present in various plant-based foods, including fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, tea, dark chocolate, and red wine. The majority of polyphenols are flavonoids, which can be found not only in red wine but also in apples, onions, dark chocolate, and red cabbage.
Polyphenols, acting as antioxidants, contribute to the prevention of various conditions, such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.
Cautionary Note: The World Health Organization (WHO) issued a stern warning in January, stating that no level of alcohol consumption can be considered safe.
