The health benefits to drinking red wine
- Helps our body to excrete excess sodium, so red wine acts like a diuretic, which lowers our blood pressure
- Lowers bad cholesterol
- Slows down the aggregation of blood platelets which can lead to the formation of blood clots
- Contains chemical compounds which act like anti-oxidants and slow down plaque build-up in the arteries.
This good news all adds up to the fact that clinical studies have proved that men can now lower the risk of heart disease by 50% by drinking two glasses of red wine a day. Women can reduce the risk by almost 30%, by drinking one glass of red wine a day.
Red wine is not a medication, simply a part of a healthy lifestyle when enjoyed in moderation.
