That\u2019s clear. It\u2019s an antioxidant,\nprotects vision, reduces inflammation&#8230; There are even studies that say\ndrinking wine can improve <strong>physical performance<\/strong>, <strong>cardiac function<\/strong>,\nand <strong>muscular force<\/strong>; in other words, characteristics that make it an\nideal ally for athletes.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if one of\nthe most oft-repeated and popular benefits of wine is that drinking it in\nmoderation helps the heart function well, should you drink it like you would an\nisotonic drink? Maybe that\u2019s going a bit far, although the study<em>&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3424731\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Improvements\nin skeletal muscle strength and cardiac function induced by resveratrol during\nexercise training contribute to enhanced exercise performance in rats<\/em><\/a>,\npublished in the&nbsp;<em>Journal of Physiology<\/em> from Canada\u2019s University of\nAlberta, says that <strong>resveratrol<\/strong>, the antimicrobial component present in\ngrapes, increases cardiac frequency, which affects and increases muscular and\nphysical performance. The study also proved that resveratrol regulates the\ncirculation of blood to the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Moderation is key<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand\nthat none of this is simply an advertising message, there are also studies\nshowing that 25% of the beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet are based\non wine consumption. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re not about\nto start hitting the gym with a bottle of wine, though. The benefits of wine should\nbe considered as just one part of a healthy and balanced diet \u2013 like the\nMediterranean diet \u2013 and always in moderation. In fact, according to the study<a href=\"http:\/\/bmjopen.bmj.com\/content\/2\/3\/e000957.full?ga=w_bmjj_bmj-com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>What is the optimal\nlevel of population alcohol consumption for chronic disease prevention in\nEngland?

This weekend-long event will bring athletes and visitors\ntogether around wine and the <strong>Pened\u00e8s 360<\/strong> routes, trails that cross the\nPened\u00e8s region near the sea, among the vineyards, and in the mountains, designed\nfor mountain biking, hiking, and slow biking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 27<sup>th<\/sup>,\n28<sup>th<\/sup>, and 29<sup>th<\/sup>, the <strong>Pla del Pened\u00e8s<\/strong> will be the\nsetting for various activities, including races, talks, and product tastings,\nin addition to the regional fair and different activities aimed at children.\nSaturday the 28<sup>th<\/sup> will be Wine Marathon day, while on Sunday it will\nbe the turn of the cyclists to take center stage, with three races: Pedals del\nVi, Pedals de Verema, and Pedals de Most, the latter of which is a fun ride\nopen to anyone of any age.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are you a fan of\nwine and sports?
