Pinot Grigio Can Be Good For You. Hooray!

Over the past years, one of the more cheering health messages is: 'Drinking wine in moderation can be good for your health'.

Researches have found that wine can lower the risk of heart disease, stroke, prevent pancreatic cancer, etc., and even promote weight loss. However many (mistakenly) tend to associate all the wine's benefits to the red ones.

The main difference between white and red wine is how the skin of the grape is used. While with red, the skins are crushed with the pulp, with white the skins are separated out. However white grapes present other types of poly-phenols which are also known to promote health benefits.

Recently, Italian studies found that Pinot Grigio as well Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc are effective anti-bacterial agents. This mean that they can not only protect against but also destroy bacteria.

Pinot Grigio contains potassium which helps in lowering blood pressure and preventing the creation of molecules that can damage lung tissue. Because Pinot Grigio contains the compounds tyrosol and caffeic acid – which act as anti-inflammatory and antioxidants, it is also known to help prevent rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis.

Other studies have found that Pinot Grigio presents great antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties and can help against heart attacks. However, its intake should be limited to two glasses a day once high consumption cancel out all the benefits.

Although Pinot Grigio tends to be sweeter and thus have a little more calories, it is considered one of the preferable white wine. This because it is low in the headache-inducing compound tyramine.
