Is wine good for your heart?

Emma V.

I have been a frequent wine drinker ever since my mid-twenties, no more than two glasses a week. I have always liked to believe that red wine is good for your heart as some people say, but I'm really not sure. However, recently, my father had a severe heart attack, and now I'm worried about the heart health in my family. I'm afraid I might be at risk of a bad heart as well. Is red wine a day good for your heart? is it enough to reduce my chances of heart disease in the future?

    In moderation, red wine is great for your health. Doctors say it’s high in resveratrol, which is good for your heart and may even help against cancer. Just remember though, too much of anything alcoholic is never good. If you don’t think you can stick to just one glass, stay away from the wine.
