Cava: Bubbly Health for Body and Soul
It has long been known that drinking red wine in moderation can have a positive effect on your health. But did you know that the same applies to cava and other sparkling wines?
The Elegance of Memory with Cava
Researchers from the University of Reading showed back in 2013 that the phenolic compounds found in cava and other sparkling wines can improve your spatial memory, which is responsible for registering information about your surroundings, and they can help you store this information for future use.
The compounds work by regulating signals in the part of the brain called the hippocampus and cortex, which control memory and learning. The researchers discovered that the compounds have a positive influence on several proteins that are linked to the efficient storage of memories in the brain. The amount of these proteins is known to decrease with age, which affects your memory in old age and leads to, among other things, dementia. Cava can help slow the loss of these proteins and can therefore have a preventive effect on memory impairment and dementia.
Cava's Love for the Heart
Cava contains polyphenols which have a number of beneficial effects on your health. Adding more polyphenols to your diet can help lower your blood pressure and reduce and increase the amount of bad vs. good cholesterol, which can ultimately prevent the development of cardiovascular disease.
Lift Your Skin with the Energy of Cava
Cava contains resveratrol, a potent antioxidant that acts as a shield against skin damage and aging. Cava can be applied directly to your face and skin. Additionally, when used as a natural toner, it can help reduce inflammation and redness, thanks to the polyphenols and tartaric acid. In the case of oily or acne-prone skin, it can work wonders, as the high concentration of antioxidants helps to soak up excess oil and sebum from your pores, leaving you with a beautiful glow.
Cava and Digestive Harmony
Cava contains polyphenols that promote the growth of healthy gut flora. Polyphenol molecules act as natural defense chemicals that effectively nourish healthy gut bacteria and subsequently aid digestion. A German study also concluded that fermented alcohols like cava can increase stomach acid by up to 95 percent.
Strengthen your health with Cava
The Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry published a study years ago that showed that polyphenols act as antioxidants in the body by counteracting damage to cells caused by so-called free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules produced by normal cellular processes, radiation, air pollution, smoking or chemical exposure. Polyphenols are also thought to help stabilize your blood sugar, which helps counteract obesity and the development of Type 2 diabetes.
Mood improvement with Cava's Bubbles
Who doesn't feel a surge of excitement when they hear the pop of a cava bottle? And it turns out that drinking a few glasses of bubbly can actually improve your mood. Cava contains natural mood boosters like magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Potassium alleviates symptoms of depression and anxiety, while magnesium and zinc are known for their calming effects.
So raise your glass and toast to a health that bubbles over! Cava is not just a party drink, it is a source of well-being for both body and soul.
