In this article, I have taken the time to compile the top 6 health benefits of drinking Red Wine. There are more, but these are the top 6 health benefits I will write about in this article, the rest is on my website.

Let's face it, most of us drink occasionally. I for one, I love red wine, and I drink socially when I am hanging with friends. However, I never stopped to think about the health benefits of Red Wine until I saw recent news clipping on the subject.

Well, here is what I have found to be the top 6 health benefits of Red Wine.

Benefit 1: Red Wine is Hearty,

It's good for the heart. The content of wine is a very significant protector of the heart. Substances in the grape skin leaks into the wine during wine making. These substances are called flavanoids. Flavanoids protects us from bad cholesterol and helps prevent blood clots. This alone makes red wine and excellent drink and a reason to drink up.

Benefit 2: Red Wine has Vitamins, Minerals and Natural Sugar

As we know, these are beneficial in maintaining optimum health. Red Wine contains large amount of these. Vitamin B is a flagship vitamin of Red Wine, also present is potassium and small amounts of sodium. All this is due to the grape skin effects. In fact, do you know that grape skin is an excellent agent and fighter against as cancer?

Benefit 3: Red Wine Extends Life?

A recent study has shown that a compound in Red Wine known as resveratrol has shown signs of extending life. We won't go into details of the study, but just know that it has shown promising results on animal subject. Imagine what this could mean for us humans.

Benefit 4: Our Digestive System

Red wine helps in the break down of the food that we eat. Ever wondered why the French always have a glass wine with their meals? Now you know also have you ever wondered why the French are skinnier people. Maybe their food digest better with wine and this aids in keeping their weight down. Finally, as we grow older, our bodies stop producing the substance it needs to breakdown the food we it quickly, therefore it is often suggested that we consume a glass of red wine with food.

Benefit 5: Weight loss,

Although wine is high in calories, it can actually make you lose weight. How? Well- remember it helps in food digestion, maybe that is how. On a recent TV show, many French woman were explaining how they lost weight and keep it of, by having a glass of Red Wine with their meals, hmmm, did we miss something in America?

Benefit 6: Sleep.

Red Wine helps relax you and make you sleep better. It has a tranquil effect on the body and also it will aid in reducing the risk of long term insomnia.

There you have it, the top 6 most significant health benefits of drinking Red wine. It is suggested that we drink moderately all the time. It's no fun getting drunk, hey moderation in everything is always good, no complaints right?

Red Wine Definitely has its health benefits, Drink up to a healthier lifestyle, moderately of course and that's my final answer.

A Wine Industry Artilce for Your Viewing

Wine Racks?Bring A New Focal Point To Your Kitchen

Classic wine racks just appear to be those forgotten furnishings of the kitchen area. Many of us tend to make do by simply storing the bottles of wine like most of the liquor stores?by standing them upright. However, this tends to allow the sediments and other ingredients settle to the bottom and alter the natural flavor of the wine. Therefore, one of the very practical reasons to think about adding some traditional wine racks to your kitchen is to properly store the vintage bottles for superior flavor and taste.

However, this is not the only reason to go shopping for these wine storing furnishings this holiday season. After all, why compare prices and go to all the trouble of shopping around if you merely need some simple rack to help you store bottles horizontally? Fortunately, there is a very wide variety and diversity when it comes to magnificent wine racks.

The right rack will not simply store your wine properly?it can actually be used as the focal point of your kitchen. Hand carved wine cabinets are made from hardwoods and finished in a wide variety of veneers?including oak and cherry?to truly bring some style, sophistication, and beauty to a room that is better known for its practicality.

This is especially true for the dining room itself as this room tends to be sparsely decorated and having too many open spaces along the walls?the perfect place to decorate with a beautiful wine cabinet that will positively captivate the attention of guests each and every visit!

Even placed in a den or in the living room itself, a fine wine cabinet can really add a unique element to the space and potentially become the focal point of the space. However, even simpler yet magnificent wine racks in the kitchen itself can be used with a little imagination to focus attention and captivate the imagination.

If you are tired of the same old gifts this holiday season, then try hopping online to compare prices for the best rack for your space that will both be functional and beautiful. When you find the right wine rack, it can even be used as the new focal point of the kitchen and make you the envy of friends and family alike! If you really want to go that extra mile, try shopping for some ornate wine cabinets as they can become the focal point of any room!
