Christmas is now fast approaching and for Prosecco lovers that means it is time to celebrate with a chilled, cheerful bubbly glass of Prosecco. 

But did you know that drinking Prosecco has numerous health benefits, too? 


Can absolutely lift your spirits

Research has shown that drinking Prosecco can absolutely lift your spirits. Sparkling wine contains natural trace elements of zinc, magnesium and potassium. The trio have been proved to be serious mood boosters. 


It’s been linked to lowering blood pressure

Two glasses of sparkling wine a day could be good for your heart and circulation, found a 2009 study by the University of Reading.
 
This is due to polyphenols, a type of plant chemical used in the production of Prosecco.

These components slow the removal of nitric oxide from our blood, this in turn increases blood flow and decreases blood pressure. The researchers found this could reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary artery disease and heart attack. 


Low in calories

There has long been a debate about the calories counts present in various bottle of wine, but there is little debate about the fact that the majority of red and white wines do contain more calories than Prosecco.

This means Prosecco is the ideal wine of choice for people who want to maintain a healthier weight, as the calorie count is so low that it can be included as part of a healthy diet, whereas other wines, might end up adding calories to your count that you could really do without.


It can help prevent respiratory problems

The sight of Prosecco may make you gasp in excitement, but it’s actually good for our respiratory problems, like other varieties of white wine, bubbly Prosecco is believed to keep lung tissues healthy.


Prosecco can aid memory

Prosecco has good news for your cognitive functions, recent research has shown that drinking one or two glasses of bubbly a week may counteract the memory loss associated with ageing. 


Great for The Skin

Finally, studies have also shown that Prosecco can do wonders for your skin, helping you to reduce wrinkles and enjoy radiant skin. 
This is because white sparkling wine detoxifies your skin, which allows you to maintain a more even skin tone as it smooths and evens your skin.
