Monday, January 11th, 2010The Health Benefits of Drinking Wine
Drinking one or two glasses of wine each day if you’re an average-size male, or one glass – which is four to six ounces – if you’re an average-size female, can provide tremendous health benefits.
The health benefits of drinking wine and even alcohol are undoubted in the medical literature. And yet, there’s this whole push against alcohol and drinking alcohol and the risks that can come from alcoholism and drunk driving. Moderation is the key here folks!
You might want to consider wine as a medication. Just a little three-ounce or four-ounce glass before the day starts, truly as a medicine. No one as yet has really figured out exactly what produces the benefits, but they are certainly there – everything from arthritic diseases to heart disease to cancer to Alzheimer’s, you name it. There’s very, very powerful research on that. And so drinking a small amount of wine daily is something to strongly consider.
The dark red wines are a little bit better for you than white wines. The red wines tend to have a lot more of the antioxidants, the polyphenols that give it the red color. But the research shows white wines, or even moderate alcohol consumption in general, can provide health benefits.
