A better sex life could be residing in a glass of birch wine! It is often said that having a glass of wine is good for our health, in moderation that is. Benefits include: increasing good cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) levels and thinning of the blood. Flavanoids, such as oligomeric procyanidin, has recently been documented to prevent hardening of the arteries, whereas Resveratrol acts as an antioxidant preventing molecules known as “free radicals” from causing cellular damage throughout the body. Red wines, through regular moderate consumption may be a preventative against coronary disease and some forms of cancer. White wines are rich in multiple antioxidant compositions, tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol, that have been shown to improve heart function and help prevent artery blockage.
Consuming wine with meals can reduce the proliferation of smooth muscle cells (SMC) within the arteries, with SMC growth being a key element in the development of atherosclerosis, which commonly leads to heart attacks, strokes, or other serious ailments.
We may now have a better option for an even healthier, more beneficial wine made from all-natural birch nectar or sap, harvested from birch trees growing wild in the pristine forests of Newfoundland. Birch sap is typically being used to produce birch syrup, similar to that of maple syrup; however, some are also making wine from the sap. In particular is a company from Newfoundland, Canada, called Sap World that is producing what they have termed a “Springwine” named “Lady of the Woods,” made from wild harvested birch sap.
Craig Lewis, CEO of Sap World, states “Our wine is full of vitamins, minerals, and all natural compounds which are derived from Mother Nature. For instance, “Lady of the Woods” is an “Excellent Source” of or “Very High In” Manganese, providing the consumer 35% of recommended daily intake per every 125 ml serving.”
Manganese is a trace mineral that is present in tiny amounts in the human body. It is found mostly in bones, the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. Manganese helps the body form connective tissue, bones, blood clotting factors, and sex hormones. It also plays a role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation. Manganese is also necessary for normal brain and nerve function. Lastly, Manganese is a component of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps fight free radicals throughout the body and has been provenin medical studies to be one of the keys to a healthy and better sex life.
