Everything should be consumed in moderation, and that includes your favorite adult beverage – wine! As it turns out, the tannins and antioxidant compounds, such as resveratrol, found in wine can lower inflammation and oxidative stress throughout the body. A glass of wine every day can also help your body eliminate excess lipids from the body, thus preventing their accumulation in the cardiovascular system. This can lower your risk of atherosclerosis and plaque build up, as well as heart attacks and strokes, which are commonly associated with hyperlipidemia.
