Dionysus might have been onto something; all that debauchery and orgiastic wine intake is perhaps a warning sign of measure and excess about an elixir that can be so good and bad at the same time for our organisms. As with any other alcoholic beverage, wine, drank in excess, can harm some of the body’s organs and increase chances of cancer and other ailments. However, when drank rationally, this intoxicating and delicious beverage can be our very own savior in disguise.

If you ever heard that wine is good for you and had all sorts of family and friends tell you about the endless benefits of having a glass of wine a day, rumors are certainly true. Turns out this French science man came up with true numbers on the real health benefits of drinking wine. Based on the French diet and lifestyle – fatty foods, smoking and wine drinking, he discovered the French continued to keep desirable waist lines and overall good health. The vessel clotting and heart attack pandemic of other nations like that of the U.S. for example have the lower hand on this one.

Even when the French – specially those on the southern part of the country – follow a pretty heavy diet, there is a surprisingly high percentage of healthy weight and low heart conditions and cancer case percentages. Although the French are well known for hearty meals and heavy smoking, their drinking habits related to wine seem to be giving these men and women a true “fountain of youth” effect. Keeping more than ideal weight and less prone to develop common deadly conditions present elsewhere, the French might have found the best combination of health and pleasure in the world.

Of course, overindulgence is what can make this beautiful elixir turn into negative forces of evil. Nothing can beat a wine hangover, some people say. But as with all things good, excess can turn a good thing bad. A maximum of three glasses of wine per day, says Monsieur Renaud, are ideal to keep health perfectly tunned. Antioxidants and the more diluted alcohol formula make the drink of gods so much more friendly for the body to absorb and process that there really is no mistery around wine being so heavenly.

While wine works wonders in the French, a combination of the velvety spirit and a healthier life style can improve your health even further. Not only does wine lift spirits and promotes love – helping you make use of those generic Viagra pills – but it also allows you to live a more comforting and enjoyable life. Besides the effects it has upon health, a nice glass of wine shared with someone special or among friends gives red velvet a whole new meaning. Wine is a natural relaxant and an amazing flavor enhancer, when combined with the right food. Heaven in a cup!
