Benefits of Red Wine

A friend of mine used to give me a bottle of red wine whenever she visits home. I remember her giving me a bottle of Carlo Rossi which is her favorite and sit on a sofa or sit on a chair at the back of the house and see the view of the vast watermelon farm (don't worry, is not ours LOL).

Most people say that red wines carries with it lots of positive health benefits including decreasing the risk of heart attack and certain cancers as most health expert claims but I guess this claim is still being investigated. Perhaps, this apparent hype in red wine consumption by the fact that many have seen that The French who happened to consume a high amount of red wine suffers the lowest number of coronary heart diseases despite of their high cholesterol (highly saturated fat) diet which suggest that the red wine itself has, at least, proven to have cardioprotective effect in the human body.

Well, I guess I am about to get off my feet and go to a wine store and buy myself a bottle of red wine. Or perhaps, just a few grapes will do since red wines prices are quite scary. Buying one might kill me; my budget I mean ;)

Grapes will do for the meantime :)
