Effects and functions of rice wine

Huangjiu is a brewed wine with a long history. It has many origins and varieties, such as Shaoxing Nuerhong, Zhangjiagang Shazhou Youhuang, Wujiang Wugong Laojiu, etc., all of which are very famous Huangjiu in China. Since rice wine is brewed from grains, it is rich in nutrients. It can provide the human body with amino acids that cannot be synthesized, thus ensuring human health. So, what are the specific effects and functions of rice wine?

1. Promotes Appetite

Zinc is an important component of energy metabolism and protein synthesis. When zinc is deficient, appetite and taste will decrease, and sexual function will also decline. There is a lot of zinc in rice wine. For example, every 100 ml of Shaoxing Yuanhong rice wine contains 0.85 mg of zinc. Therefore, drinking rice wine can promote appetite.

2. Improve intestinal flora

Yellow rice wine contains a high level of functional oligosaccharides, which the human gastrointestinal tract cannot digest. Instead, they will be utilized by the beneficial microorganisms bifidobacteria in the intestines, which can promote the proliferation of bifidobacteria, improve intestinal flora, and enhance digestive function.

3. Relax muscles and promote blood circulation

Huangjiu has a bitter, sweet and spicy taste. Drinking warm Huangjiu in winter can invigorate blood circulation, dispel cold, dredge meridians and activate collaterals, effectively resist cold stimulation and prevent colds. Drinking a moderate amount regularly can help blood circulation, promote metabolism, and nourish blood and nourish the skin.

4. Improve sexual function

The content of vitamins in rice wine is extremely high, especially vitamin C and vitamin E. Drinking it can relieve the aging of internal organs and enhance physical strength. Vitamin E is also known as tocopherol, which has the effect of regulating multiple physiological functions and can enhance the fertility of men and women.

5. Protects the Heart

Yellow rice wine contains a variety of trace elements, such as 20-30 mg of magnesium per 100 ml, which is 10 times higher than white wine and 5 times higher than red wine; Shaoxing Yuanhong Yellow Rice Wine and Jiafan Wine contain 1-1.2 micrograms of selenium per 100 ml, which is about 20 times higher than white wine and about 12 times higher than red wine. In cardiovascular diseases, these trace elements can prevent high blood pressure and thrombosis. Therefore, drinking yellow rice wine in moderation has a protective effect on the heart.

6. Anti-aging

Yellow wine is a good source of B vitamins and is rich in vitamin B1, B2, niacin and vitamin E. Long-term drinking is beneficial to beauty and anti-aging.
