Red Wine To Stay Young

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

RedWine-798687I have always been a fan of red wine, but it wasn’t until recently that I read that it is able to make you stay young! A girlfriend of mine and I were talking about this when we went out to get a couple of drinks, and we didn’t know if red or white wine was better for you. I decided to Google this information on my iPhone while we were out to settle the debate, and it turns out that red wine wins.

You are recommended to drink a glass of red wine with a meal so that your body can absorb it slower for five days a week. This is supposed to reduce illnesses, like diabetes and a heart attack. The alcohol within the red wine does soothe inflamed arteries, but red wine also contains flavenoids, which are antioxidant ingredients that can protect the body. One of the biggest benefits to drinking red wine full of antioxidants is the fact that it can protect your cells underneath the surface and neutralize free radical damage. This is one of the biggest components to staying young because it will prevent fine lines and wrinkles from forming. I’ll drink to that!
