Seems hard to believe that something you actually like is good for your health. But, research has found that drinking a glass of wine a day may actually possess some surprising health benefits. Keep in mind that moderation is the key here.

On top of the already well-documented associations with heart health, the glass a day approach might help you lose weight, preserve your memory, and strengthen your immunity.

Women in their 70s were given memory tests, those who drank a glass of wine a day or more scored higher than the women who drank less. This is possibly because wine helps reduce blood vessel inflammation and clots linked to cognitive decline.

Research has also found that wine may flatten your tummy. People who drink wine daily have lower body mass and less abdominal fat than those who drink liquor.

So next time you finish up at the gym, kick back and end it with a bottle of wine. Cheers!
