Overall Health Benefits Of Drinking Red Wine On A Daily Basis

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.

First of all, drinking a glass of wine daily does help retain your memory better. It is also good for your overall health. There are studies that show that older women (over 70 years of age) who are drinking one glass of wine with their food have better memory faculties than those who stopped consuming this drink for many years.

One glass also helps with avoiding blood clots from forming and minimizes any inflammation of the blood vessels. And if you are thinking of your cholesterol levels, you should be in the clear with consuming only one glass of wine: it actually raises your LDL level (the good cholesterol) which is known to help 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.

Due to the resveratrol content in the wine, it seems that it helps minimize the risk of cancer due to its anti oxidant or anti cancer properties. These antioxidants are actually found on the skin and in the seeds of grapes, which is dissolved in the alcohol used in the fermentation process. It is needless to day that this doesn't give the go ahead for drinking too much. Always moderation is the key in everything.
