Is wine actually healthy for you?!


Question:

Is wine actually healthy for you?

i drink a cup of red wine every night because i have read that it is healthy. is this true?


Answers:
When compared to beer or liquor drinkers, and even non-drinkers, those who happen to drink wine have lifestyles that are healthier. Wine drinkers are thinner and have more normal weights, they exercise more, smoke less, have a higher intake of fruits, vegetables and salads, have a higher education and socio-economic status, eat less saturated fat (fewer servings of red or fried meats) and more fiber, have normal cholesterols, drink less alcohol, often work in white collar jobs and are in better health than the rest of the population. Those individuals who drink wine also happen to be more well adjusted, less neurotic and depressed, and have a higher I.Q. These many lifestyle factors that account for improved health make the use of wine no longer significant.

yea it is but only red wine is healthy for u and only one cup

yes it is.red wine only.not the whole bottle just one glass.drink up,yum!

Yes it is very good for you - 1 or 2 small glasses max mind you. Very good for your heart & lowers cholesterol as well........I work for a cardiologist & he swears by it!!

well i;ve heard a class a day is good fo your heart!!!

everything in moderation. heh heh! it's no news that countries with a decent average consumption of wine per capita (France; Italy etc) have fewer reported cases of artery clogging (esp. around the heart)....apparently the tannins in wine (esp. red wine) are good for you in this way....
but like i said...in MODERATION (unfortuneatly)...too much alcohol has far reaching negative consequences!
but besides that, a glass or two a day makes life more enjoyable, tastes good & is a great social combiner....
happy sipping!!

yes, wine is good for you. But, only in small qualities. Believe it or not so is Chocolate.

my dad's doctor told him to drink 1 glass of wine a day .. so yes i believe this is true

My understanding is that WINE is actually good for you-in moderation of course. The FRENCH swears by this idea.

In my family we grew up having a Glass of wine with our dinner. My great grandmother,grandmother and father had a long life. My mom is still going at the age of 85 so it looks like it is good for you.

Yes, as long as it's consumed in moderation (and in non-Muslim countries) wine is good for you.

I heard it was but I can't remember what the reason was.
