Research at the Harvard School of Public Health reported a significant protective effect from moderate use of alcohol. One or two glasses of wine a day resulted in a 26 percent reduction in the risk of heart disease. Alcohol also metabolizes in the liver and increases HDL-C levels. Red wines contain resveratrol, an antioxidant that can protect the body from free-radical attack and promises to have a number of anti-aging effects.
