"The health benefits of wine; the first and most important thing about the health benefits of wine is make sure you're drink in moderation. Having say that, we can then look at all the other aspects of it or some of them. Wine has been shown to beneath positive effect when use in moderation and particularly when combine with meals. So wine made from grapes, with extracts from the grapes, of the seed of the grapes and the skin, vitamins from the skin, the flavanoids from the skin as well; the aspects in wine that we'd looked to find what are the health benefits. Wine has been shown to have beneficial effects on the blood circulation, it dilates small blood vessels and therefore, eases the blood flow through these vessels. Wine also contains antioxidants which have been shown to have anti cosmogenic aspects to them; so they prevent some aspects of cancer. But they are not medicines, they just have an, positive benefits that prevents cancer, certain styles of cancers. And so, when drinking in moderation and wine can be used in conjunction with foods to moderate, maybe the fatty aspects of food and in other harmful aspects within food. So wine has unlimited beneficial effect according to some researchers and in my opinion, from what I've read, it seems to be indication to some truth to this. However, a lot of researchers do being undertaken to show the irrefutable proof that wine is beneficial for you. Anecdote to evidence comes from, for example Southwest of France where the population that's drink, eating very rich foods, doesn't to pay to suffer the side effects of those foods when they consume, in other populations they've been shown to have negative effects on health. And part of reason for that is the use of red wine and white wine within the meal context. Obviously when drinking wine, drink wine must be drank in moderation. A few researchers of, put folds suggestions that wine stops peptic ulcers and in some clinical processes, it's been shown to actually improve circulation and particularly by dilating the capillaries in the blood system. And also wine from the extracts from the skin and the seeds which contains antioxidants has been shown to impact some styles of cancer and also prevents some styles of cancer. However, these research is on going, there's no conclusive proof yet and with the health benefits we must also stress the negative aspects of wine. So when you're drinking wine, then mind that, as long as you're drink it to moderation, you should have some health benefits from it. Also, the social benefits; it relaxes you after a stressful day and maybe that relaxation actually helps you in other regions and maybe it's not relaxation, rather than the chemical effects within the wine that actually improves your health. So, take one in moderation, drink it knowing that there's some benefits to it, there's a lot of on-going research, keep an open mind and see what's the magical authority say about this. But oust for the guidelines from the government and particularly from the magical bodies in your various countries."
