Hi lybrate-user, No age has been mentioned by you so I am going to give you a general medical opinion on red wine and its benefits. Red wine is a fantastic source of antioxidants. It has large amounts of the antioxidant called polyphenol. Why do we want antioxidants again? Well they just so happen to be the core reason our cells stay healthy and young. They protect us from premature aging and cancer by blocking free radical damage. You may not know what resveratrol is yet, but red wine has it, and you want it! This little compound is naturally found in red wine and is exactly what you need for a good health boost. Studies have shown that it: / Helps control blood sugar (so it?s good for diabetics) / Brilliant for giving your brain function a boost, promoting a strong memory and preventing lifestyle diseases such as memory loss. / Keeps you nice and slim by actually preventing the growth of your fat cells. For ageing skin: Yes, red wine helps us age better. ?It is really good for skin and in fact, prevents ageing of skin. Red wine is packed with antioxidants like flavonoid, resveratrol and tannin which help fight ageing by restoring collagen and elastic fibers. It?s true, red wine gives a boost to sagging skin, reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Wine facial, anyone? This beauty secret is perfect to rejuvenate the skin and get the glow you?ve always wanted. Mix with rosehip, strawberries, grapes and essential oils before applying to the face, and then massage for 10 minutes and wash with cold water. One to three glasses a day (125 ml-375 ml) ?Considerable evidence shows this is the optimal amount to give the average man the maximum health benefits from red wine.
