Abstract

As was established in previous investigations, consumption of grape’s polyphenols, containing in food concentrate Enoant, increase effectiveness of recuperative sanitaria treatment in patients with arterial hypertension and chronic bronchitis. In current article, we present the results of investigation of the wine stress-limiting effects caused by alcohol and polyphenol components. The investigation was performed in 60 patients with arterial hypertension, 60 patients with chronic bronchitis and 60 patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. White table dry wine was used under complex recuperative sanitaria treatment in patients with arterial hypertension and chronic bronchitis and the Ukrainian sparkling wine was used under complex recuperative spa treatment in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome. The dry wine was prepared from white grape “Rkacitely” along with Kakhetian technology. The analysis of data reveals that the most positive wine effect is a successful coping with stress. We had seen significantly increased changes in psychological and morphological reactions, including positive dynamics of the following: patient’s self indicated feeling, amount of total complaints and stress reactions, adaptation, diastolic blood pressure, minute blood volume, right carotid artery rheographic index and Gentch test. Also, about quarter of patients had noted the diminishing of wish to drink strong alcohol beverages. The results are in good accordance with the previously known action of grape’s wines to prevent heart and vessels diseases.
