A lazy weekend afternoon and an antioxidant-rich red wine may not sound like a good plan but are actually a healthy combination for physical and mental well-being.
Here are 6 surprising health benefits of drinking red wine:
– Red wine helps to regulate the blood sugar and is beneficial for those with higher blood sugar levels.
– Red wine is rich in polyphenols and resveratrol that has the ability to improve short-term memory.
– Red wine reduces the risk of cancer by preventing the growth of cancerous cells, especially breast and esophageal cancer.
– The polyphenols present in red wine reduces risk of heart disease. They boost HDL or good cholesterol and flush out bad cholesterol.
– Red wine prevent eye-related issues such as age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy and hence, improving the eye health.
– Red wine fight with harmful bacteria in the mouth, which contributes to tooth decay and gum infections.
