Today I have a treat for you.
Often when you are talked to about healthy living, you get nagged to eat healthy stuff that you don’t really like and break more sweat than you really want to.
Today is different. Today I’m going to tell you about a drink most of us love but many of us hesitate to have too often.
No more hesitation.
A new study has proven this drink to be extremely beneficial to the kidneys and overall cardiovascular health.
It’s been repeatedly proven to lower blood pressure and help prevent stroke and heart attack and now to improve chronic kidney disease (CKD).
A research team at the University of Colorado–Denver collected data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey for 2003 to 2006.
Among the 5,852 participants studied, the prevalence of CKD was significantly lower in those who consumed at least one glass of wine a day than in non-wine drinkers.
Taking this a step further, among the 1,031 participants who already had CKD, drinking at least one glass of wine a day seemed to protect them from the risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
Because kidney diseases and heart diseases share common risk factors, patients with kidney diseases who drink a moderate amount of wine can possibly keep heart diseases at bay.
This research study by no means suggests that nondrinkers suffering from kidney disease should start drinking wine as medicine. You should limit yourself to 1–2 glasses per day maximum. Anything more can cause more harm than good.
In addition, drinking margaritas and sipping beers HAVEN’T been shown to have the same health benefits as wine (we get this question a lot).
Just to spoil the fun, other studies have clearly shown that nonalcoholic wine is just as healthy as, and maybe even healthier than, regular wine.
If you’re already suffering from chronic kidney disease, drinking wine will not be enough. You can reverse CKD, however, using the simple lifestyle changes explained here….
