It's no secret that I consider red wine to be an essential part of my health regimen, but what makes me feel even better is that I have scientific research to back my claim.
A recent article in the Washington Post gives an in depth view of the study of resveratrol, given in huge quantities to the mice, may open up a whole new field of drugs to prevent diabetes and reduce obesity, which in and of itself is likely to lower the incidences of stroke and heart attacks, at the very least, and prolong life. This ingredient in red wine has also been shown to dramatically increase endurance and longevity in the mice who took it compared to the ones who didn't. In fact, they resembled "trained athletes" without the training, with lowered heart rate and similar muscle fibers.
So go ahead - pour that second glass of red wine!
