Heart Health – The Link Between Wine and Omega 3’s
A new study out of Europe is showing a link between wine consumption and increased omega 3 content in blood plasma. The study found that one glass of wine for women and two glasses per day for men leads to an increased use of the omega 3 fatty acids found in fish. It’s suggested that it’s not the alcohol responsible for this boost of omega 3’s, but other wine components (i.e. polyphenol antioxidants). The same increase in omega 3’s was not seen when beer or other spirits were consumed with fish.
So, if you enjoy a glass of wine combining your wine with a heart healthy fish based meal it looks like you’ll reap greater heart health rewards.
