Studies show that wine can improve quality of life. Resveratrol is a polyphenol that can be found most especially in red wines. It is a powerful antioxidant in grape skin/juice. Antioxidants help the body fight off free radicals that can damage our cells and organs.

The 10 benefits of drinking wine are:
β
1. Longevity of Life: Consuming a moderate amount of wine gives positive health benefits that may lead to long life.
2. Keeps Your Heart Healthy: Drinking 4 to 8 ounces of wine per day may lower the risk of having Cardiovascular Disease because of the polyphenols that it contains.
3. The Nutrients In Wine Can Prevent Alzheimerβs: Resveratrol keeps the blood vessels free from blockages that can affect brain functions in retaining memories.
4. Can Keep Depression At Bay: A seven-year study conducted by PREDIMED analyzed 5,500 individuals of light to moderate drinkers found that individuals who drank two to seven glasses of wine in a week were less prone to depression than non-drinkers.
5. Promotes Healthier Skin: Wine can stimulate blood circulation which can prevent wrinkle formation and skin aging.
6. Prevents Obesity: White wine promotes weight loss by burning belly fat and by decreasing anti-inflammatory properties.
7. Helps Boost Your Bodyβs Defenses: Daily consumption of wine helps boost the immune system as it contains a high level of antioxidants that fight against viruses.
8. Strengthens Bones: One or two glasses of wine per day can protect women from thinning bones. As we age, our bones become thinner and weaker.
9. Protects Teeth from Plaque: Wine can inhibit the growth of bacteria that can cause tooth decay.
10. Improves Eyesight: Wine can prevent age-related deterioration of eye muscles.

Lastly, the key to experiencing these long lasting effects is to drink in moderation, so drink responsibly and have a glass a day!π·
