Wine in Genotype Diet

The 16th century rogue - Elizabethan pirate, explorer, navigator, courtier and poet Sir Walter Raleigh in his “Instructions To His Son, And To Posterity,” in the volume “Instructions For Youth, Gentlemen And Noblemen” warns how excessive alcohol “transformeth a Man into a Beast”. He goes on, “Take especial Care that thou delight not in Wine.”

“For there never was any Man that came to Honour or Prefer¬ment that loved it; for it transformeth a Man into a Beast, decayeth Health, poisoneth the Breat, destroyeth natural Heat, brings a Man’s Stomach to an artificial Heat, deformeth the Face [and] rotteth the Teeth.”
According to Raleigh, alcohol – especially wine, “maketh a Man contemptible, soon old, and desp¬ised of all wise and worthy Men”.

These four centuries old warnings are just as relevant today as they were in Elizabethan times if we talk about excessive drinking.

We are lucky today to have such thing as the GenoType diet which gives us more personalized advice about how much of certain kind of food and drink and which ones are good for each type – for us. It’s still wise to listen to what our body is telling us and watch how certain food or drink makes us feel afterwords but it’s just so much easier to choose the good stuff with all the knowledge available to us.

Back to wine. Red wine in GenoType diet is beneficial only for warriors and nomads, white wine is not on beneficial side of the list of any of the six GenoTypes, sorry.

It always amazes me how close to the truth these guys from centuries ago (or more) were, without any scientific research or comparable technology…
