It’s National Drink Wine Day, not that you ever needed an excuse to imbibe, but in case you do, here are the surprising benefits of enjoying a glass of red.

The health rewards are attributed to the antioxidant resveratrol, a group of plant-based chemicals found in the grape skin. Resveratrol has everything from anti-stress and anti-depressant effects to the ability to possibly ward off obesity by preventing immature fat cells from fully maturing. It also lowers inflammation to protect against heart disease and cancer and even slows the aging process and the effects of Alzheimer’s disease.

So sip on, but like everything else, moderation is key!
