5 Benefits of Red Wine

4. Keeps cholesterol levels in check

The ‘French paradox’ is quite a common notion. It describes the phenomena of the French people having low levels of coronary heart disease in spite of consuming a traditional diet high in saturated fat. This has been attributed to their habit of consuming large amounts of red wine.

5. Helps keep cancer at bay

Moderate intake of red wine is beneficial for making the body immune enough to protect itself against prostrate cancer in men and breast cancer in women. So the next time you get wary of drinking red wine, thinking it may have harmful effects like the other drinks, remind yourself of this list and go and grab a glassful of this tasty treat.
