Wine drinkers, raise a glass to toast your favorite red, white, or rosé because in moderation, wine is surprisingly healthy for you. Different blends offer a variety of health benefits, like the numerous pros of antioxidants in white wine. Read on to find out three ways a daily glass of vino will keep you healthy.

3 Reasons to Make Wine Your Nightcap of Choice

1. Prevent Memory Loss

According to scientific reports, resveratrol, a phytoalexin found in the skin of red grapes, aids neurogenesis. In other words, wine can slow down memory loss and reduce mood swings. In fact, the changes to your hippocampus can actually contribute to memory enhancement. This includes your favorite pink or redder variety of rosé.

2.  Boost Heart Health

The question for years has not been if wine is good for you, but how much is excessive. The average consensus is one glass for women and two glasses for men per day is the most beneficial. A single serving is measured as 5 ounces. The National Center for Biotechnology Information has determined non-drinkers, and excessive drinkers may not receive the same benefit as those who drink moderately. Studies show that moderate drinkers have increased cardiovascular function, and have a lower chance of contracting heart disease.

3. Save Your Liver

Liver disease is commonly associated with excessive drinking, but the University of California San Diego Health Sciences found that a moderate intake of wine decreases the chances of liver disease from Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by up to 50%. This number remains constant regardless of age, sex, or other health markers, and applies to those who normally don’t drink any alcohol.
