Superfood Red Wine!
How can red wine be good for you?
Red wine, or small amounts of any alcohol, are thought to lower heart disease risk. (Higher amounts can increase risk.)
While some say resveratrol (a polyphenol found in red wine) gives the beverage an added benefit, research suggests that any alcohol in moderation works.
Red wine can be considered a superfood that provides powerful antioxidants that heal the body at a cellular level, like quercetin and resveratrol.
1% of red wine is vitamins like Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Folate, Choline, Betaine, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Vitamins A, B, K, and G.
Another 1% of the wine is minerals like sodium, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, copper, manganese, fluoride, and selenium.
As with coffee, though, none of these properties is a reason to start drinking alcohol. You can get resveratrol from non-alcohol sources, like natural peanut butter and grapes as well.
I hope you have enjoyed this information. Until next time!
