You've probably heard that red wine
can be a very healthy drink option, but you most likely only heard about
generic benefits of the antioxidants and resveratrol in red wine.
But here's another MAJOR reason
below why red wine in moderation (1-2 glasses per day max) can be a super
healthy part of your routine.
A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(Am J Clin Nutr. 2012;95:1323-1334) reported that people who drank 2 glasses of
red wine per day (dry red wine, not sugary dessert wines) had higher levels of beneficial bacteria in their gut and lower
levels of pathogenic bad bacteria in their gut. This is great news
as you know from reading this newsletter how vastly important your gut flora
balance is to everything from your digestion,
immunity, metabolism, skin health, and much more.
The study concluded that while red
wine consumption decreased pathogenic bacteria in the gut, it actually had a
prebiotic effect in the gut in that it supported the growth and colonies of
healthy gut microbes which protect your health.
