Is there a benefit to drinking red wine for high blood pressure

There is no clear benefit of drinking red wine for people with hypertension. Although there are experimental studies that red wine contains resveratrol and other components of cardiovascular benefits, but red wine contains the same alcohol content, alcohol is harmful to cardiovascular and other tissues and organs of the body, so it is not recommended that patients with hypertension drink red wine. For hypertensive patients, the guidelines recommend abstaining from smoking and limiting alcohol intake to no more than 25g per day, which is about one or two glasses of white wine. For people with hypertension who have poor self-control, cardiologists tell patients to quit smoking and limit alcohol, not just quit smoking and limit alcohol to avoid excessive alcohol intake. The potential benefits of red wine for the human body do not outweigh the harm caused by alcohol, so red wine is not recommended for people with hypertension, but if patients insist on drinking, they need to keep their alcohol intake within 25g per day.
