So far, when it comes to longevity, the biggest factor is in the diet, which may not be the first thing people may think of when indulging in holiday meals. But, a popular holiday drink may actually have properties that can extend one’s life expectancy.
Over the holidays, people tend to indulge themselves more than usual in the spirit of celebrating. However, what many might not know is that some popular foods and drinks are known to have health benefits that can help boost longevity. As for drinks, a new report reveals that mulled wine can help increase life expectancy.
Mulled wine is made up of red wine with added spices such as cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger. All of these ingredients have properties that are beneficial to one’s health. Red wine is popularly known for being good for the heart due to its polyphenol content, keeping the good cholesterol inside the body and reducing the bad cholesterol, which in turn, lowers the risk of heart disease.
Several studies have also backed this up, showing that those who drink red wine in moderation had a lower risk of heart disease compared to those who do not drink and those who only consumed beer and or spirits. Red wine also has resveratrol, which is a very powerful antioxidant. Resveratrol has often been associated with anti-inflammation and reduced risks of both heart disease and cancers.
Cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger also help in reducing heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol levels. Cloves help by keeping blood sugar levels normal.
Many may consume wine with cheese, and another report reveals that cheese can also help increase a person’s life expectancy. While excessive cheese consumption can lead to weight gain or spiking the levels of bad cholesterol, cheese also has a compound called Conjugated Linoleic Acid or CLA. A study has shown that CLA can help prevent heart disease, obesity, and fight inflammation.
But it is not just cheese that would have CLA. All dairy products from 100 percent grass-fed animals contain this compound. Fermented dairy products like yogurt can help reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease as well.
