Effects and functions of pickled onions in red wine

1. Promote sleep:

Drink about 50ml of red wine 1 to half an hour before going to bed. Red wine contains the sleep-aiding hormone melatonin, which can regulate sleep cycles and treat insomnia.

2. Improve blood circulation:

Red wine contains tannins, which can tighten loose skin and also have beauty effects. The rich grape polyphenols in red wine have antioxidant and blood circulation promoting effects. Onion roots contain volatile oil, the main component of which is allicin, and it also contains diallyl sulfide and calcium oxalate. In addition, it also contains fat, sugar, carotene, vitamins B, C, niacin, calcium, magnesium, iron and other ingredients.

3. Reduce the incidence of diseases:

Resveratrol contained in grape skin has the best anti-cancer properties among the hundreds of plants commonly eaten by humans. It can prevent normal cells from becoming cancerous and inhibit the spread of cancer cells. Among all types of wine, red wine has the highest content of resveratrol. Because resveratrol can inactivate cancer cells, red wine is a good choice for cancer prevention.

4. Aids digestion:

Best drink to go with meals. Wine can stimulate gastric acid to secrete gastric juice. The tannin in wine can increase the contraction of smooth muscle fibers in the intestinal muscle system, adjust the function of the colon, and have a certain effect on colitis. Sweet white wine contains sorbitol, which aids digestion and prevents constipation.

5. Delaying aging:

The human body, like metal, will gradually "oxidize" in nature. The culprit of human oxidation is not oxygen, but oxygen free radicals, which are active groups outside the cell nucleus containing unpaired electrons. This unpaired electron can easily cause chemical reactions, damaging important biological molecules such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), proteins and lipids, thereby affecting the cell membrane transport process, impairing the functions of various tissues and organs, and promoting the aging of the body. Red wine contains more antioxidants, such as phenolics, tannic acid, flavonoids, vitamin C, vitamin E, trace elements selenium, zinc, manganese, etc., which can eliminate or fight against oxygen free radicals, so it has anti-aging and disease prevention effects.
