Red wine good for healthy heart

According to beauty magnate Liz Earle, creator of Liz Earle Beauty Company, drinking red wine in moderation may prevent blood clots and strokes, and hence keep the heart healthy.

Red Wine can even help in warding off certain cancers including colon and prostate, reports contactmusic.com.

A glass of red wine contains high amounts of antioxidants that not only help our cells fight against free radical damage, but also helps in increasing cholesterol levels in a positive way. A glass of red wine contains procyanidins that help in reducing blood pressure and protect against hardening of the arteries.

Earle also said that red wine might boost brain power, especially for older women.

But keep your intake to a glass or two, not a whole bottle!
