Using food and other natural items to improve health and mind is a trend right now this is sweeping the United States. Things like “superfoods” are saught after, but all wine lovers already have a superfood like item in their houses, red wine. Small amounts of polyphenols that are found in good dark chocolate are found in even larger amounts in red wine. Polyphenols are good for brains because they increase the delivery of blood to the brain. This rush of oxygen and sugars to the brain make calculations faster. Studies using polyphenols have even been conducted to see who gets the most benefit from them, the answer, the elderly. This is because of the decreased blood flow to the brain as people age, so even those feeling mentally sluggish can get a boost from the goodness in red wine.
Sadly white wine does not have nearly as much polyphenols as red meaning that the Bacchus red wine glasses will help more if drinking wine is going to part of a plan to imporve ones thinking and brain function. Finer darker reds have even more polyphenols in them too so enjoy that nightly class of red and justify buying that expensive bottle. It’s not a splurge, it’s helping brain function.
