US scientists say red wine can protect the brain from stroke

Red wine can build a protective barrier for the brain and help protect it from stroke, US scientists said Wednesday, foreign media reported Before that, scientists have found that a "magic ingredient" in red wine can prolong life, burn junk food and other functions According to the latest findings of US researchers, the substance can also minimize the damage caused by blood clots in the brain This magical substance is resveratrol, a compound found in red grape seeds and skins The researchers found that the brain damage of healthy mice drinking red wine after a stroke was significantly lower than that of the same kind who did not drink wine The study was conducted by Johns Hopkins University School of medicine in Baltimore It was found that resveratrol increased the level of a protective enzyme called heme oxygenase In the event of a stroke, the enzyme will play a protective role and prevent anoxic cells from dying Researchers, Dr sylvier Doyle, believe that even a small amount of resveratrol can have a protective effect In addition to red grapes, raspberries, blueberries, cranberries and peanuts all contain this substance He also pointed out that before other studies calculate the right intake, people had better not blindly supplement the substance Stroke experts say that while alcohol can prevent one type of stroke, even a low alcohol intake may increase the risk of other types of stroke "We know that a small amount of alcohol seems to help prevent ischemic stroke," said Andrea Ryan of the American Stroke Association Alcohol may help dilute the blood and reduce the risk of clot formation But even a small amount of alcohol can increase the risk of a stroke caused by bleeding We still recommend that people drink in moderation "
