At the end of a long workweek, there’s no better remedy than enjoying a glass of wine with friends.

Go ahead, have a glass of vino, and read up on the variety of health benefits moderate wine drinking can provide. Cheers!
Lower Risk of Heart Disease
Red-wine tannins contain procyanidins, which have been proven to protect against heart disease. A Study published in Nature describes wines from Sardinia and southwest France as containing the most procyanidins than any other wine.
Reduce the Risk of Heart Attack
A 16 –year Harvard Public Health study proved that moderate drinkers suffering from high blood pressure are 30% less likely to have a heart attack than non-drinkers.
Decrease Risk of Cataracts
According to a study of over one thousand individuals in Iceland, moderate wine drinkers are 32 percent less likely to develop cataracts than non-drinkers.
Lower Risk of Colon Cancer
The moderate consumption of red wine has been proven to cut the risk of colon cancer by 45%. A Stony Brook University study over 2,000 individuals determined that drinking one glass of red wine a day reduced an individual’s chance of developing colon cancer.
Reduced Risk of Stroke
In a study completed by Columbia University researchers, it was proven that the possibility of suffering a blood-clot related stroke drops by half for individuals who consume moderate amounts of alcohol.
Improved Memory
The antioxidant resveratrol found in red wine protects against cell damage and prevents age-related mental decline. This means, drinking one glass of red wine a day can help you maintain a sharp memory!
Replaces the Treadmill
Drinking a glass of red wine may not equal 30 minutes of jogging, but it can provide heart-healthy benefits necessary for a long, healthy life.
