Little Wine And Plenty Of Water

Good quality wine, especially if it's red, has an excellent effect on your mood and on your health, provided you limit yourself to two glasses a day and drink plenty of water the rest of the time.

The benefits of wine
Two glasses of red wine will help to keep you healthy and young thanks to its tannins, which contain polyphenol, a wonderful antioxidant. Choose good vintage and avoid cheap wines, which contain a lot of chemicals. It has been proved that moderate consumption of red wine increases life expectancy; more non-wine drinkers than wine-drinkers suffer from cancer and heart problems.

The dangers of wine
Four or more glasses of wine per day will greatly accelerate ageing. You run a higher risk of getting cancer of the digestive tract and the liver, and you damage your brain cells. The brain of a 30-year-old alcoholic resembles that of a 50-year-old man. In addition, drinking too much wine is very likely to make you look uglier by bloating your face and bursting the little blood vessels that supply your skin.

Some Facts

• Instead of coffee and ordinary tea, drink herbal teas.
• Drink water but be reasonable about it or you are liable to overwork your kidneys.
