Wine boosts blood levels of the fatty acids
You know that eating fish is a great way to get more heart-healthy omega-3s. But what about drinking wine?
It seems so. Wine itself doesn’t have any onega-3s, but research suggests that a bit of wine-not too much, not too little-somehow boosts blood levels of the fatty acids.
Wine and dine
Researchers aren’t sure why wine has this effect, but they suspect that polyphenols-key antioxidant compounds in wine-may play a role. Still, there’s a caveat with this health message: Alcohol may only be right for some people’s health-and then, only in moderation.
And drinking may have no benefits before a certain age.
