Red wine is good for our hearts

“Justifying red wine as heart-healthy is nonsense,” Holzner writes in his guide “Does your heart stop when you sneeze?” It is made from grapes, which contain herbal ingredients polyphenols. “They have positive effects on our immune system, lower blood pressure and have an anti-inflammatory effect.” But alcohol is a poison to our body. Holzner recommends grape juice instead. “We can also eat fresh fruits and vegetables if we want to get important plant substances such as polyphenols.”

Red wine is said to have health-promoting effects.

We see more clearly with carrots

According to Holzner, this is not true. Anyone who consumes carrots provides beta-carotene to the body. Excess is stored in the skin. Therefore, increased consumption of carrots only leads to an orange-brown complexion. That’s why we can’t see more clearly. What beta-carotene can do, according to Holzner: Improve vision in the dark.

Coke and salt bars help stomach flu

Coke and salt bars are a popular home remedy for stomach flu. The combination is expected to provide electrolytes (cola) and salt (rod). According to Holzner, cola can even be counterproductive if you have diarrhea, possibly vomiting, and lose a lot of fluids. Because: The caffeine contained in cola stimulates the kidneys to produce urine. This causes the body to lose more fluid and therefore nutrients such as potassium and salt. Salt bars don’t make up for it either. Holzner recommends bananas (for potassium) and vegetable broth (for salt).

Coffee dries the body

The statement that coffee stimulates the urge to urinate is true. Because caffeine activates the nervous system and circulation, and therefore the kidneys. This leads to dehydration and dehydration. According to Holzner, the assumption that coffee removes fluid from the body is wrong.

For many people, nothing works without coffee. It’s not entirely true that caffeinated beverages make you dehydrated.

5

Drinking helps digestion

According to Holzner, this is clearly a myth. The body wants to break down alcohol as quickly as possible. Consuming schnapps after a meal causes our body to look at the alcohol first and the food second. Alcohol consumed after a meal hinders the digestive process. Holzner recommends teas made from herbs such as fennel, anise and cumin. They stimulate the gastrointestinal muscles and stimulate digestion.
