Wine as Antioxidant

Medical professionals have already proven that red wine contains higher
levels of antioxidants known as reservatrol, which reduces the risk of
high blood pressure and most cardiovascular diseases, and of course, the
antioxidant helps us resist ageing. White wine doesn’t have as much
reservatrol quantities, though.

This is why wine consumption is most recommended for people aged 40 and
above, as they have the higher risks of having heart ailments. These
health problems do not spare the youth, so it is good that at an early
age, they should take care of their own health as well. The recommendeded
one glass a day is enough to draw the line between moderation and alcohol
abuse. It is good enough for drinkers to have the desired amount of
antioxidants and stay healthy.

In the Philippines, as well as in other countries, reservatrol is even
absorbed through pills, bought from drug stores. The pills come in
different brands, and they’re quite expensive when in fact, the
reservatrol is naturally available inside that wine bottle you’re about
to open. Wine is healthy, after all.
