Overall Health Benefits Of Consuming Red Wine Every Day

By Grove Dean

Scientists and doctors agree on the health benefits of drinking wine in moderation on a daily basis. While many people drink too much and others don't drink at all, read the article below to see just why drinking one glass of wine, especially red wine, can only improve your health and well being.

There are several major studies that show the fact that women of ages 70 and above have a better memory retention when they drink one glass of wine with their meal than those that stopped drinking altogether. So wine in moderation not only is excellent for better memory, but it is also great for overall health in general.

Furthermore, consuming just one glass will minimize the risk of forming blood clots along with blood vessels inflammation. If you have high cholesterol levels, one glass of wine per day will actually increase the good cholesterol, which helps with unclogging your arteries.

Not only that but people that are a bit overweight should drink some wine per day as it reduces the body mass index. Also the alcohol has the reputation of burning the calories faster, so one single glass can burn up to 90 calories right away. Of course, drinking in excess won't burn more calories, as that law doesn't apply here.

The skin and seeds of red grapes contain resveratrol, which is known to minimize the risk of cancer due to the anticancer properties of the antioxidants. So drink one glass of red wine with your meals, but don't overdo it as this will do more bad than good. Should you have any health conditions, make sure to discuss it with your health practitioner before.
