The scientists have spoken...let the merriment begin!
Did you know that a glass of red wine everyday is believed to have several health benefits to the body? Over the years scientists, doctors and wine connoisseurs have spoken glowingly about the health benefits of red wine. But exactly how does a glass of red wine daily keep you away from the doctor's?
Here's 6 reasons how...
  • Red wine equals a healthy heart: according to various researches, red wine contains antioxidants which increases 'good' cholesterol that protects the arteries from damage. Also, resveratrol another ingredient of red wine reduces the risk of inflammation and blood clotting, both of which can lead to heart attacks. 
  • Red wine equals reduced risk of hearing loss: worried about the effect of constant exposure to loud music to your ears? Red wine is here to save the day. According to a study done by the Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, resveratrol an ingredient found in red wine reduces the body's inflammatory process as it relates to several things including hearing loss..in other words, it reduces the risk of hearing loss.
  • Red wine equals reduced age-related health risks: resveratrol, a powerful red wine chemical protects against the body's inflammatory process which reduces the risk of cognitive loss resulting in conditions like dementia and alzheimer's disease.
  • Red wine equals healthy teeth: polyphenol which is found in red wine reduces the risk of gum inflammation which could lead to gum disease and tooth decay.
  • Red Wine equals reduced risk of cancer: recent research by the University of Leicester reveals that drinking a large glass of wine a day can reduce the risk of bowel cancer. The Hebrew University of Jerusalem research findings also reveal that washing down red meat and wine reduces the buildup of cholesterol which could otherwise raise the risk of heart disease.
  • Red wine equals youthful burst: wine like chianti and merlot contain melatonin which regulates the body clock and aids sleep. Probiotics also unlocks energy thereby slowing signs of aging.

It's important to note that red wine must be taken in moderation to fully enjoy these benefits...so remember to keep things at strictly one glass a day.
Cheers!
