LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / July 19, 2017 / Mike Asimos, a noted wine enthusiast and native of Portland, Oregon, was recently featured in an interesting and educational article on the Find Health Tips website.

As the article noted, living in the Pacific Northwest has allowed Asimos to be exposed to a wide variety of fine wines, wineries and vineyards. As he told the interviewer, his love of wine started as a hobby, and then grew to sharing his extensive knowledge with others.
"The passion drove me to a point where I decided to move forward with the profession and industry I love. The idea of importing and exporting wine really makes me come alive," Asimos said.
When asked to discuss some of the biggest health benefits of red wine, Asimos said it may help people to live longer, due to its positive impact on cardiovascular health.
"Researchers discovered that people on the island of Ikaria live longer than anywhere else thanks the daily consumption of wine and plant-based foods," he said, adding that the same applies to the residents of Sardinia and Crete who consume red wine as part of an anti-aging lifestyle.
In addition to being good for the heart, Asimos noted that wine has a number of other surprising health benefits. Most of these, he said, are derived from a stilbenoid known as resveratrol, which is a form of a phytoalexin and a natural phenol produced by multiple plants.
"Scientists at the Harvard Medical School discovered evidence that resveratrol has the capacity to activate a protein that enhances longevity and good health in animal models," he noted, adding that resveratrol has been shown to boost short-term memory in addition to eye health, bone function and liver health.
Lesser known benefits of drinking red wine and resveratrol, Asimos noted, include a possible improvement in dental health, a reduction in acne breakouts, and helping to ward off the common cold.
"Wine drinkers are less likely to come down with a cold when compared to people who drink other alcoholic beverages," he said.
