Give Your Immunity & Bones A Boost

While daily vitamins, regular exercise, and drinking water on a regular basis are great ways to boost and maintain immunity health, drinking one glass of wine a day can effectively improve the immune system’s ability to fight off disease and prevent illnesses. It should be noted you shouldn’t get carried away with excessive drinking, as too much of a good thing (even wine) can lead to adverse effects on the body and reverse the purpose of drinking wine for an immunity boost. Excessive drinking forces the liver to work harder to process the enzymes in alcohol and damage your immunity.

As we age, our bones become more brittle and prone to breakage. Wine to the rescue! Although milk, yogurt, cheese, and other dairy products are known to have high concentrations of calcium, which aids in the prevention of brittle bones, red wine has high levels of silicon, which is highly beneficial for bone mineral density. Silicon found in red wine increases the density and strength of your bones and reduces your chance of developing osteoporosis.

Cancer Fighter

In the raging war against cancer, wine might be your saving grace, as it has proven to reduce the risk of developing breast, colon, prostate, and lung cancer with just one glass per day. The antioxidants found in wine fight against the horrible free radicals that allow cancer to grow and thrive, particularly red wine has been proven as highly beneficial, as the resveratrol found in it fights against not only heart disease but also cancerous cells.

Scientists at Harvard Medical School have discovered that men who drink on average four to seven glasses of red wine per week are fifty-two percent less likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer compared to those who do not consume (red) wine at all. Additionally, researchers found red wine appears to be highly protective against advanced and aggressive cancers. If you’re vying for a red wine high in the powerful cancer combatant, resveratrol, we suggest trying a glass of cabernet sauvignon.
