Red wine has long been hailed for its health benefits and not just for its alcoholic content. The amazing array of varieties and tastes of red wine means many people drink it for pleasure, but research has shown a distinct health benefit in people who drink a glass or two a day.
Red wine is rich in antioxidants which is thought to help reduce your risk of heart attack. Certain other compounds are also thought to actively protect the heart against heart disease and may even help prevent against some types of cancer.
The active antioxidant in red wine is resveratrol, which is a phytoestrogen that can help to protect against the depletion of certain hormones and estrogen levels in women who may have decreased estrogen levels due to conditions such as menopause or breast cancer. by. Kerri Stalton
