Why does red wine cause some people a headache? What Science Says

According to a new study published in Scientific Reports magazine, the cause may be a natural antioxidan found in red wine that intervenes in the normal process of alcohol metabolism in the body.

Previous research has shown that red wine is more likely to cause headaches in people who are susceptible to alcohol. Compared with strong drinks, white wine, or soft wine, it is up to three times more problematic than beer. There is even no need to drink a lot of headaches in 30 minutes after just one or two drinks.

Like an antioxidant can become toxic?

To understand why red wine provokes headaches, researchers analyzed the role of kvevanol (flavonoids) that occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, including grapes. According to the American Heart Association, flamingoids benefit heart and brain health. Kvercetina is known as a healthy antioxidant and even sold as supplements, but when combined with alcohol it can become problematic.

When it enters the bloodstream, the body turns it into another form called glucuronid kverskit,” explains about Everyday Health coauthor of the study, Dr. Andrew. Waterhouse, University of California professor, San Diego.

In this form, the crocetin blocks the metabolism of alcohol, causing the gathering of a toxin called acetaldehyd. The leading author of the study, Dr. Armamita Devi, explains: “Acetaldehydi is a known, irritative toxin that can cause inflammation. Its high levels are linked to frying, headaches, and lullaby”, it transmits Telegrafi.

Why are some people more sensitive than others?

The authors suspect that some individuals are more likely to inhalted enzymes that break up alcohol, or their bodies respond more strongly to acetaldehyd accusations.

“Kvercin is a powerful antioxidant and is usually considered a useful ingredient in red wine, but this study suggests that it is not always like this,” says registered dietologist Catherine Donelan. She adds that additional studies are needed to confirm this, but findings are of particular importance to wine lovers who often suffer from headaches.

Researchers plan to test their theory in people who usually get headaches after drinking alcohol. If our hypothesis turns out to be correct, then we will have new tools to answer these questions,” says Waterhouse, adding that a clinical test is already under way.

Fluvanole levels vary according to summer type

The amount of crotch vary greatly between varieties of red wine because it is influenced by sunlight. If the grapes rise in the full sun, the contents of the kvercetine can be four to five times higher,” explains Waterhouse. The method of production also affects the time of contact with the skin of grapes during fermentation, the process of bacterium (white eggs, gelatin, or carbon), and the age of the age of summer.

It's not just corruption: the role of sulfur, histamine and tannins

“Historically, wine has been linked to side effects like headaches, rashing skin and nose jams. These are often attributed to sensitivity to components such as sulfits, histamine, tanmines, and Tyramina,” explains Donelan.

She adds that alcohol itself contributes to dehydranation and damages the digestive, cardiovascular, immune, and central nervous systems. Moreover, it is classified as carcinogenic, so the less you consume, the less danger.

How to Avoid Headaches From Red Wine

To reduce the risk, Donelan suggests:

▪ Choose varieties of little or no sulfur (usually organic wine)
▪ Wines of lower tan, such as Pinot Noir or Merlot,
▪ Lower histamine varieties,
▪ Wine with lower alcohol content.

Also, drink plenty of water, and consume a rich meal of protein and fiber before or during the summer. This weakens the potentially problematic content and slows down its absorption in the digestive tract”, Donelan explains.

If you try a new wine, start with less than half glass. If you get headaches, it usually happens in 15 minutes.

Remember!

Red wine can cause headaches because of the interaction of kvercetin with the metabolicism of alcohol but also because of the presence of sulphites, histamine, and tannins.
