There’s been a ton of research regarding the health benefits of drinking a glass of red wine a day and if you need more of an excuse to uncork a bottle, these are the reasons you should enjoy a cup of wine.
Protects Your Heart
Drinking red wine has been shown to lower the risk of heart disease, but the actual association between the two may be due to other factors like lifestyle and dietary factors.
Anti-Inflammatory
Red wine has a ton of polyphenols that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These polyphenols can also be found in grapes, peanuts, chocolate, and some berries.
Sharpens Your Mind
The flavanols which are found in wine may protect your body’s cells that support healthy blood vessels which improve blood flow to the brain and prevent plaque from developing.
Promote Longevity
Studies have shown that moderate alcohol use has been linked to living a longer life. Of course, this goes along with eating a healthy diet rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Boosts Mood
It comes as no surprise that moderate alcohol use has been associated with better moods. It’s hard to be in a bad mood when you have a glass of wine with you.
