Red Wine

Red Wine recently made the list of Super Foods when it was discovered that resveratrol increased the life span of mice. (We know it's a drink, but it is considered one of the 10 super foods!) Even before that, red wine has been heralded as the key to unlocking the "French Paradox".

The "French Paradox", first coined in 1991, is the mystery revolving around France's low incidence of heart disease despite their high fat and cholesterol diet. It wasn't until 2002 that researchers found resveratrol in red wine.
Fortunately for red wine, resveratrol is not the only reason it is on the list. Every culture in the world has a fermented food in its diet. Whether that food be sauerkraut, pickled lemons or red wine - people have gravitated towards foods that aid digestion and digestive health.

Red Wine is full of other nutrients too and some reserachers would have you believe it is the other nutrients that are the reason for the "French Paradox". Roger Corder of the William Harvey Research Institute in London believes Oligomeric Proanthcyanidins (otherwise known as OPC's) offer the greatest health benefit. After testing over 150 wines, they proved that OPC's were in much higher concentration than resveratrol.

OPC's are and are often found up to one gram per litre of wine. Studies show that these OPC's protect the walls of vessels and capillaries in the body.
