Champagne a festive wine was actually the first wine which was made 2,000 years ago, was named after a small town in France. Wines from the champagne region were known from the middle-ages. During those periods wines were either red or white. The first commercial sparkling wine was produced in the Limoux area of Languedoc in the year 1535. Sparkling wines usually come from areas where grapes don't have enough sun to ripe according to other wine standards.
We have all heard about the medical benefits of red and white wine. But recent findings have revealed that champagne has got medical benefits too. When raising a glass of Champagne and toasting 鈥楥heers鈥? the attitude is generally a way of praising one鈥檚 health and well being in a figurative way. According to the JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY published in April 2007 revealed that moderate consumption of Champagne as a source behind brain protection. This sparkling wine according to the recent joint study of University of Reading and University of Cagliari may help protect the brain against injuries incurred during a stroke and other ailments, such as Alzheimer鈥檚 and Parkinson鈥檚 diseases. So now when we raise a glass of Champagne and shout 鈥楥heers鈥? we can really mean it.
The reason for the Champagne鈥檚 ability to cope with the brain according to the researchers lies in the high presence of polyphenols packed within every bottle. Red wine was declared as the healthiest types of wines to drink, because of the highest concentration of polyphenols. Polyphenols are known antioxidants, which are believed to help avoid cell death due to oxidative stress. Previous research found Champagne to contain high amounts of other types of phenolic compounds, such as tyrosol and caffeic acid.
Scientists carried out tests in order to find out if the polyphenols found in Champagne are similarly beneficial to those in red wines. Measu[1] [2] [3] 下一页
