Is red wine good for you and is red wine fattening? Yes and No.

1) Resveratrol
The skin of grapes are packed with the antioxidant resveratrol which benefits:
⁃ Eyesight
⁃ Fights cancer
⁃ Heart and brain protection
⁃ Anti-aging
⁃ Lowers cholesterol and blood pressure

2) Fattening
Red wine is not fattening if consumed in small amounts due to unique antioxidants and phytonutrients that help burn body fat.

3) Alcohol
A small amount of alcohol stimulates liver detox by breaking down bile
⁃ Suggested amount: 1/2 glass or less

Over consuming (more than one glass in a sitting or a few glasses a week) becomes toxic to the liver which will negate the health benefits and cause long-term health issues such as:
⁃ Slows down liver detox
⁃ Increases toxicity
⁃ Increases fat storage
⁃ Potential heart issues
