CBD Vines

The health benefits of drinking wine come from moderate consumption, defined by the American Heart Association as one to two four-ounce glasses a day (one glass of wine is recommended for women and one to two for men.)

The antioxidant resveratrol is found in the skin of grapes. Because red wines are in contact with the grape skins longer, the levels of resveratrol are also higher. Studies claim that resveratrol may contribute to the following benefits:

• Healthy heart – The antioxidants found in a glass of wine may increase your levels of high-density lipids (“good” cholesterol) and lower your low-density lipids (“bad” cholesterol) as well as increase the levels of omega-3 fatty acids which are known to have protective effects on heart and blood circulation.
• Anti-aging effects – Antioxidants soak up damaging free radicals that play a role in aging and age-related diseases. Wine and grape derivatives can also help reduce the damaging effects of UV rays from overexposure to the sun.
• Decreases risks for diabetes – Insulin resistance is a critical factor contributing to type 2 diabetes risk. Wine’s ability to improve sensitivity to insulin will ensure that your body accepts insulin properly.
• Lowers risks for cancer – Studies have shown that the antioxidants in wine may slow the growth of cancer cells, particularly breast and colon cancer cells and may even suppress the growth of cancer cells on the prostate.
• Promotes mental health – Red wine can reduce your risks of stroke and dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. The antioxidants in red wine reduce the stickiness of blood platelets helping maintain a good blood supply to the brain, therefore reducing the risk for brain and mental impairment.
• Protects teeth – Red wine and grape seed extracts help remove certain bacteria from teeth. A glass of red wine may kill these dangerous bacteria in your mouth, promoting dental health.
• Fosters good eyesight – Antioxidants in red wine prevent age-related deterioration of eye muscles. Wine can help stop the growth of blood vessels in the eye which can cause macular degeneration or failing eyesight.

Adding the advantageous qualities of hemp derived CBD increases the benefits by adding the documented positive effects of CBDs without THC. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of at least 85 cannabinoids found in various concentrations throughout the different parts of the hemp plant. Cannabinoids are a class of botanical chemical compounds that deliver an array benefits. According to https://www.drugabuse.gov, pre-clinical research (including both cell culture and animal models) has shown CBD to have a range of effective properties that may be therapeutically useful for:

• Anti-seizure
• Antioxidant
• Neuroprotective
• Anti-inflammatory
• Analgesic
• Anti-tumor
• Anti-psychotic
• Anti-anxiety
