Health Tip: Wine Could Benefit the Heart

Excessive drinking offers no benefits whatsoever, but having a single glass of red wine each day could help the heart.
The flavonoids found in red wine (also in grapes and grape juice) are thought to be the heart-healthy components.
Women, however, should consume no more than one drink each day, and no more than two drinks each day for men which equates a drink of wine to four ounces' worth.
Other ways to help boost heart health include getting regular exercise, eating a healthy diet, avoiding tobacco, and maintaining a proper body weight.
