I’m not a fan of alcoholic beverages. I only try it for some special occasions. But many times I have heard how healing a glass of wine a day is.
Drinking alcohol is usually one of the first things that doctors advise against if you want to live a long and healthy life. While beer and spirits can negatively affect your metabolism, liver, and calorie intake, wine actually has a number of positive health benefits, especially for women.
For the best benefit to your body, drink a glass of red wine with dinner. This is because red and purple grapes offer the most nutritional value. Drinking wine regularly and in moderation can improve your overall health, scientists report, and these are the reasons why this is so.
A glass of red wine a day should:
1. Improve your memory.
2. Reduced the chance of cardiovascular disease.
3. Improve your immune system.
4. Reduced the chance of ovarian cancer.
5. Increased estrogen levels.
Warning: the beneficial effects should be valid only with moderate drinking of wine. So, one glass (1 dcl) of wine a day.

I enjoy having a glass of wine now and then. It relaxes me at night and I can sleep well.
It seems that wine really helps with certain things.
The Dr does not want me to touch alcohol but I can but hardly ever, due to the behaviour of drunks,,put me off
I will probably drink a glass of red wine now and then, probably once a year.
You can get the health benefits of red wine from eating grapes fresh from the vine.
Thank you, Pamela. I agree with your claims. I don’t drink alcohol. Maybe only on special occasions. I have had a bad experience with alcohol.
Moderation is key indeed. Very interesting information although I personally don’t drink wine.
Thank you, Ellie. I also don’t drink wine or drink alcohol.
I doubt that wine helps to improve memory! Any type of alcohol affects the brain!
I agree. I, too, do not fully believe these findings.
I always say moderation is the trick to many things in life.
You are absolutely right. Moderation should be considered in many situations.
I have learned that over the years.
moderation is the key to health!
Wine, and one ounce of alcohol has many benefits to our health. 2 sources (2 glasses) start the slide to less or no impact at all.
it is a tricky slope we are on!
You are right. Unfortunately, some don’t “know” what moderation is.
that is the hardest thing, isn’t it?
i find that the easiest way for me now, is to only order wine when I am out then I only get one glass because it is so expensive!
Yeah, but first thing in the morning is not a good idea! Well maybe, if you need to take a nap!
You are right. I guess the best time would be after lunch or dinner.
Moderation in all things is a rule that I often live by. I think there are some people who should never touch wine.
I totally agree with you. Unfortunately, some do not know the importance of moderation.
My doctor has prescribed that I have a bit of it every day to take care of my cholesterol. It increases the good cholesterol – HDL
I also have elevated cholesterol. Maybe I should try this.
