一天一杯酒對你的身體有何影響

一天一杯酒對你的身體有何影響

We are a species that loves our fermented grapes. We’ve been making and drinking wine since 6000 B.C. Even as far back as 2,000 years ago there were wine bars on every street in Roman cities. In 2014, Americans consumed an estimated 893 million gallons of wine. That’s a lot of quaffing.

我們是一個喜歡發(fā)酵葡萄的物種。早在公元前6000年，我們就開始釀酒和飲酒了。早在2000年前，羅馬城市的每條街道上都有酒吧。2014年，美國人估計消費了8.93億加侖葡萄酒。那是大量的狂飲。

But is the veneration of vino a good thing? We wine-sipping tipplers do a collective happy dance whenever a new study is published promoting the health benefits of wine in moderate consumption … as we plug our ears and hum loudly when other studies come out highlighting the health risks.

但對葡萄酒的崇敬是件好事嗎?每當一項新研究發(fā)表時，我們這些愛喝葡萄酒的人就會集體跳起歡快的舞蹈，宣傳適量飲用葡萄酒對健康的益處……當其他研究強調(diào)葡萄酒對健康的危害時，我們會豎起耳朵，大聲哼著歌。

So with that in mind, here’s a look at all the different things science says about what can happen at wine o’clock — the good, the bad and the ugly all in their fermented glory.

因此，帶著這種想法，讓我們來看看科學對葡萄酒時間的各種說法——好的、壞的和丑陋的都在發(fā)酵的光輝中。

To start things off, just what is moderate consumption? A standard drink is equal to 14.0 grams (0.6 ounces) of pure alcohol, which generally equates to 5 ounces of wine (and is roughly equivalent to 1.5 ounces of liquor or 12 ounces of beer, though variations in strength will throw that off). According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, moderate alcohol consumption means having up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. Most studies quantify amounts used in research.

首先，什么是適度飲酒?一個標準的飲料等于14.0克(0.6盎司)純酒精，一般相當于5盎司的葡萄酒(大約相當于1.5盎司的白酒或12盎司的啤酒，盡管強度的不同會影響這個數(shù)值)。根據(jù)美國人的飲食指南，適量飲酒意味著女性每天最多喝一杯，男性每天最多喝兩杯。大多數(shù)研究將研究中使用的數(shù)量量化。

We all have unique personal and family histories, so the bottom line is that a glass of wine offers each of us a different array of benefits and risks. Whether or not to have a drink at the end of the day requires careful balancing of these benefits and risks, a job that may be best accomplished by knowing the science and having a chat with your health care provider.

我們都有獨特的個人和家庭歷史，所以最重要的是，一杯葡萄酒給我們每個人帶來了不同的好處和風險。無論是否在一天結(jié)束時喝一杯都需要仔細權(quán)衡這些好處和風險，了解科學知識并與你的醫(yī)療服務(wù)提供者交談可能是完成這項工作的最佳途徑。
