Health Benefits of Red Wine - Weight loss - Heart Health
Thursday
Now I personally do not like wine, but I have found drinking one glass manageable, and I do admit that it is growing on me. It has to be a sweet red wine for me however and I have even tried mixing it with diet soda or Coke products. I have found that it satisfies my sweet tooth and the need for a little something in the evening.
Studies show that the red wine consumption can raise the good HDL cholesterol and lower the bad LDL cholesterol. Red wine has a rich source of antioxidant flavonoid phenolics including resveratrol found in the grape skins and seeds
A recent study shows a boost in brain power for women who enjoy a little alcohol. The study, published in the Jan. 20 issue of The New England Journal of Medicine, evaluated more than 12,000 women aged 70-81. Moderate drinkers scored better than teetotalers on tests of mental function. Researchers found a boost in brainpower with one drink a day.
So I say this fat rat has her wine each night!

Thanks for the reminder that a daily dose of wine also boosts brain function! I had forgotten about that benefit, and was very glad that dark chocolate does the same thing! Wonderful blog. :)
I had recently gotten away from the red wine and was having trouble getting to sleep - wonder why we get off track - back on track and sleeping great -thanks for the dark chocolate reminder, any excuse to eat chocolate!
I always used to weigh on a Monday, but as I've weighed today, I won't weigh this Monday coming, but I'll start posting my weight again the following Monday. I really don't like to weigh more than once a week.
Best diet pills
Thanks for dropping by my blog, I'll start following your from now on. I've had a hard time liking red wine too, but I like Yellow Tail Merlot pretty well and it's CHEAP!
i had my red wine tonight on the rocks with some diet coke - i know, don't say it - but it helps make it go down better :)
