When going to a beach vacation, in addition to sunscreen, drinking wine can also protect the skin from the sun. According to a report on the UK’s “Daily Mail†on the 7th, a newly published study in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry states that drinking wine or eating grapes can prevent sunburn.
Ultraviolet rays are the biggest killer of the skin and cause skin aging, sunburn, and even skin cancer. Researchers at the University of Barcelona and the National Research Council of Spain observed the chemical reaction of the skin under the sun's ultraviolet radiation - ultraviolet radiation on the skin activates active oxygen, which causes DNA to oxidize, which in turn activates enzymes that destroy skin cells. The presence of flavonoids in the grapes can prevent the chemical reaction from occurring, leaving skin cells free from damage. “The grape can prevent sunburn and even prevent skin cancer,†said Marta Cascan, a biochemist at the University of Barcelona who directs the research project.
Previous studies have shown that wine helps inhibit Alzheimer's and prostate cancer, and its efficacy in skin protection is the latest discovery. In addition, the study can also inspire scientists to explore the use of polyphenol compounds extracted from plants for skin protection and sun protection. Therefore, experts suggest that in the summer you may wish to eat more grapes, or drink two glasses of wine, you will receive a good sunscreen effect. â–²
