According to the World Health Organization, depression is a frequent mental disorder, characterized by the presence of sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or lack of self-esteem, sleep or appetite disorders, feeling of tiredness and lack of concentration.

Currently in Mexico, from 12% to 20% of the adult population suffers or has suffered an episode of depression, as indicated by the Health Secretary. However, is reducing depression in our hands or in what we drink?

A flavor that heals the soul ...

Moderate wine consumption (two to seven glasses a week, the equivalent of one glass a day) can reduce the risk of depression. This is indicated by a study, led by Miguel Ángel Martínez-González, from the University of Navarra and published in the magazine BMC Medicine.

The research took seven years, in which a follow-up of a group of five thousand 500 drinkers with light and moderate consumption of alcohol, between 55 and 80 years, was maintained.

The findings showed an inverse association between these low-moderate levels of alcohol and the frequency of new cases of depression, which decreased when people drank a glass of wine daily.

Depression is a disease that can be treated and has a cure, if you want to know where you can go or if you need advice the Mexican Red Cross puts at your service the following telephone lines: 52-59-81-21 / 01-800-472-78-35. Remember, your health is in your hands, take care!
