Drinking
wine is not only good for the soul, but can also be good for the body
under the right circumstances.
We've collected a few interesting articles about wine and health. The
overall theme is that, in moderation, drinking wine can have various health
advantages, particularly with regard to anti-ageing effects, elasticity
of arteries, and the health of your heart.
Lots of research is underway to both identify and isolate some of the
compounds that seem to be responsible for beneficial effects, known as
phenolic constituents, particularly resveratrol and the flavonoids.
There are even attempts to distill the beneficial compounds into pill
form (see below: Wine's Health Benefits Mimicked in a Pill). Frankly,
we would much rather continue enjoying the odd glass of wine. Here's to
your health!
