Does red wine decrease anxiety?
Does it calm your mind a little when you are depressed. I know that you can get the antioxidant benefit from it.
Answers:
some ppl enjoy a glass of red or white wine after a long stressful day..it helps to relax them a tad and wind them down some.....If you're depressed alcohol isn't the answer as it will most likely depress you more* Go for a long walk to clear your mind and help relax you. , or take a bath* If depressed see your doctor for perhaps medication to help you along for short term or perhaps counselling to guide you through your depression* best wishes*
iguess so
Yes one glass will release the axiety pressure for a more controlled zoned out feeling.
It may seem to in the short term but alcohol is a depressant, and you will ultimately feel worse if you drink a lot. In moderation OK.
Alcohol is a depressant so drinking because your depressed will only cause problems. Although when in moderation drinking has benefits. Such as one glass of red wine a day has been know to reduce the risk of arteriosclerosis (clogging of the arteries in the heart) and the small buzz you get could have a calming effect.
A couple of glasses calms me right down!!
Actually, it will temporarily decrease anxiety because it decreases inhibitions, however, alcohol is a depressant so there will be a sudden decrease in serotonin (which is what gives you a sense of well-being) and that lack of serotonin will increase the anxiety worse than before you had the red wine.
Exercise or meditation is a much healthier way to decrease anxiety than substances. Best to steer clear if you can. : )
Good luck.
I was once depressed 25 years ago or so, But I'm happy now because I'm either drunk or on my way to getting drunk. I suggest that you drink heavily.
If by depressed you mean sad, you shouldn't be drinking alone. It will intensify your depression.
But in general, if you lead a happy life and you have a stressful job, a glass or two with dinner will take the edge off.
