Red wine helps get rid of mental problems

 Red wine helps get rid of mental problems

Scientists from the University of Buffalo, USA, made a very important discovery. They determined that red wine helps get rid of some mental problems. The beneficial effects of wine on mental health have been proven through lengthy experiments with laboratory animals that were driven into depression and then healed.

It turns out that red wine helps get rid of depression and anxiety. At the same time, this does not mean the use of a “shock” dose of alcohol, which causes the very feeling of an inexplicable joy of being, but a completely different application is implied. Resveratrol, a natural antioxidant found in grape skins, acts as a healing component in wine.

Laboratory mice and rats were very helpful in identifying the positive effects of resveratrol on the psyche. The rodents were especially upset and forced to become depressed, and then ... No, they weren’t splashed with wine, but they added resveratrol isolated from grapes to their food.

The substance immediately began to act, or rather, to break down the PDE4 enzyme accumulated in the brain substance, which causes a suppressed state. Very soon, the mental state of the rodents improved and there was not the slightest trace of the adversity experienced in their organisms.

Scientists believe that this is an important discovery, but, alas, cannot yet find practical application for it. The thing is that resveratrol needs a lot to get out of depression, and its content contains a scanty amount. It has already been estimated that for a person with a body weight of 70 kg, an effective dose of this substance will be 700 mg. That is how many biologically active component is contained in 350 glasses of red wine.

A person cannot take such an amount of wine in one sitting, and even if he could, then it obviously did not do him any good. The blood alcohol content in this case will be many times higher than the permissible dose and a patient suffering from anxiety will drink to death. Therefore, researchers from Buffalo argue that the future of their discovery is for pharmacists who must learn to separate the medicine from the poison and create resveratrol tablets.

Today, drugs with a completely different mechanism of action are used to treat depressive conditions. They are aimed at changing the functions of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain. New preparations based on grapes will help block harmful enzymes themselves, which will make treating patients at least three times more effective.

Wine is an interesting product that has been known since antiquity . Despite this, humanity is discovering more and more new properties of this alcoholic drink.
