Decreases in good bacteria and/or increases in bad bacteria have been linked to a growing list of health issues, including weight gain, type 2 diabetes, and inflammatory bowel disease. Red wine can help shift the types of bacteria in your digestive track so there's more of the good kind, making you healthier and potentially leaner. Here's how it works: Red wine's red color comes from antioxidants called polyphenols. Polyphenols can help improve your health in a variety of ways, but one problem with certain polyphenols, especially the ones in red wine, is that your body doesn't absorb them very well. It has been estimated that almost half of the polyphenols consumed are not absorbed during the normal initial phases of digestion. While this sounds like a bad thing, the unabsorbed polyphenols become food for the good bacteria in your digestive track. This is exactly what Spanish researchers found when they examined the digestive tracks of people who drank red wine every day for 20 days. In addition to improving the quality of the bacteria in digestive tracts, study participants also saw improvement in several major risk factors for cardiovascular disease , like triglyceride levels. This is likely due to the fact that the good bacteria in your digestive tract can help improve metabolism for a faster rate of burning that fat. The bottom line: Enjoy your nightly glass of red wine (4-6oz) to reap the benefits of a longer life, higher good cholesterol levels, and improved digestion and metabolism.
绿茶和红酒提取物可在细胞内中断阿尔茨海默病路径 根据《科学新闻在线》( ScienceNewsLine ) 2013 年 2 月 6 日 的报道, 英国 利兹大学 ( University of Leeds )的研究人员发现,来自绿茶和红酒的天然化学物质可能破坏阿尔茨海默病( Alzheimer disease , AD )路径中的一个关键性步骤。早期的实验中研究人员确定了允许有害的蛋白质凝结最终使大脑细胞死亡而导致AD的过程,但是最新研究发现使用绿茶提取物 EGCG 和红酒提取物白藜芦醇可使导致大脑细胞死亡的过程中断,为研发治疗AD新药带来了希望。研究结果在《生物化学杂志》( Journal of Biological Chemistry )上发表 , 为开发治疗阿尔茨海默病新药提供了潜在的新目标 , 仅在英国就有大约 80 万人患AD,对此目前无法治愈。 AD又叫老年性痴呆,是一种中枢神经系统变性病,起病隐袭,病程呈慢性进行性,是老年期痴呆最常见的一种类型。主要表现为渐进性记忆障碍、认知功能障碍、人格改变及语言障碍等神经精神症状,严重影响社交、职业与生活功能。 AD 的病因及发病机制尚未阐明,特征性病理改变为 β 淀粉样蛋白沉积形成的细胞外老年斑和 tau 蛋白过度磷酸化形成的神经细胞内神经原纤维缠结,以及神经元丢失伴胶质细胞增生等。研究人员 相信可以通过寻找新的药物靶点,研发AD治疗新药最达到治愈这种顽疾,提高老年人的生活质量。 Natural chemicals found in green tea and red wine may disrupt a key step of the Alzheimer's disease pathway, according to new research.

文题有点仿《打靶归来》的感觉 朋友刚刚邮过来的几张参加上周六一个同事兼职的学校举办的end of the year 聚会照片。 和两个访问老师一起去的,其中一个明天要回国了。三个人喝对劲了,战绩也不错。3瓶半红葡萄酒ROSE,1瓶低度的白葡萄酒,还有5瓶king of beer。只记得两瓶产地意大利,一瓶西班牙,一瓶英国,另一瓶貌似还是意大利?当时特意找法国红酒来着,结果拿了一瓶不是,喝完;完事再拿,又不是还得再喝(喝完才好意思再去拿呀) .. 直到走的时候没喝到法国的..... 酒后,舞池子里群魔乱舞,两位老师自己high(说句实话动作单板),我和一个印度小子对跳的起劲,又是贴胸又是贴面。我平时没去过酒吧(同事们都是穆斯林或者素食主义者),对英国的酒吧文化并不了解。反正那晚玩High了!只可惜跳舞这段,朋友没有拍照,要不科网以后谁见我都得躲远远的 搞几张自损形象的,大家随便拍砖,伤得起,没那么矫情。
