A nutritionist has dispelled a popular myth about drinking wine.

Doctor Elena Tikhomirova named the dose of an alcoholic drink that is safe for the health of men and women.

The therapist indicated that men can drink up to three glasses of wine a week without harm to the body. For women, the safe dose is two glasses, Life reports.

The doctor noted that many people are under the influence of a common myth about red wine. It is believed that this type of alcohol is supposedly healthier than other alcoholic drinks.

This is explained by the fact that red wine contains resveratrols, antioxidants that have a positive effect on the health of the heart vessels.

But Tikhomirova emphasized that the concentration of substances in this drink is insignificant. One should not expect a health effect from wine, the doctor assured.

The therapist separately noted that the safe dosage limits are greatly reduced for a certain category of people.

Those who have or have had relatives suffering from alcohol addiction should minimize their consumption of wine and other alcoholic beverages. According to the doctor, this category is at risk.

According to the doctor, alcohol can help in the fight against stress, but it is very important to remember about moderation and not to exceed the permissible limit.
