HEALTH
The polyphenols and flavonoids have the following effects on health:
- Heart attack risk is reduced by up to 50%
- Blood pressure drops
- Diabetes mellitus (type 2) is positively influenced
- Aging process is slowed down
- Anti-inflammatory effect
- Prevents thrombosis formation
- Antioxidant capacity – free radicals
With red wines high in polyphenols we are practically drinking the „immune substances of the vines.“
