Wine and Cancer
Studies show that wine helps fight cancer. Wine contains resveratrol, which helps suppress cancer. The red grapes that go into red wine also have bioflavonoids, which are antioxidants and help prevent cancer to begin with. Third, as a stress fighter, wine is also shown to help cancer patients by relaxing them and helping them fight their disease.

Wine and Strokes
Studies show that wine helps prevent strokes! Scientists figure that the alcohol breaks up blood clots and increase HDL (“good”) cholesterol in the bloodstream. This keeps the arteries clean. Note that this helps with the common ischemic stroke, but not with the rate hemorrhagic stroke, which is sudden bleeding in the brain.

Wine as a Soother
Wine is calming influence, something that may seem incidental but should not be forgotten. The fact that a dinner is accompanied by a drink which helps the body relax and unwind can help the mental transition between work and relaxation. In addition, people fighting other illnesses can combat them better when calm and focused.
