Can red wine increase hemoglobin in the blood — scientific facts

Health and proper functioning of the cardiovascular and circulatory systems is a key condition for the normal functioning of the entire body as a whole, since their functions consist in the delivery of nutrients and oxygen in the blood to all organs, tissues and systems of the body.

The ability of the circulatory system to supply the body with oxygen is diagnosed according to the level of hemoglobin in the blood. A lack of hemoglobin is called anemia, a condition that signals either a serious illness or an incorrect lifestyle., including factors such as:

• Unbalanced nutrition;
• Insufficient amount of water consumption;
• The presence of stress and bad habits.

Factors of heredity and genetics also play a significant role.

At the same time, they have become widespread research , according to which residents of France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece suffer less from problems with the cardiovascular and circulatory systems. According to the established assumption, a diet that includes the consumption of red wine contributes to the maintenance of heart, vascular and blood health.

Other studies indicate that alcohol consumption is associated with a decrease in hemoglobin levels in the blood, which can contribute to the development of some serious diseases.

In this article, we will discuss the effect of wine on the cardiovascular and circulatory systems in general, as well as on hemoglobin levels in particular.

Effect on the circulatory system

Wine consumption, really, affects the condition of the heart , blood vessels, blood flow and the process of blood circulation.

Dry red wine in small quantities has a beneficial effect on the entire cardiovascular and circulatory systems. In particular, due to the systematic consumption of a glass of dry red wine, positive changes occur in the body.

So, scientists talk about the following beneficial effects of consumption:

1. Increased hemoglobin levels;
2. Improvement of blood circulation;
3. Blood flow stimulation;
4. Hindering the development of atherosclerosis;
5. Blood thinning .

The increase in hemoglobin levels is due to the content in dry red wine of a certain set of trace elements and nutrients involved in the synthesis of red blood cells, which just include hemoglobin. The natural nature of the effect determines not only the possibility of increasing hemoglobin at low blood levels, but also the normalization of its level if it is elevated.
