Calories in Yellow Tail Wine

Up to a glass of wine a day can keep cardiovascular disease away. The grape antioxidants in wine help raise the good cholesterol in your blood and reduce damage caused by free radicals, which are molecules produced when your body breaks down food, or by environmental exposures. Free radicals can damage cells and may play a role in preventing heart disease, explains the American Heart Association 1. If you don’t already consume alcohol, don’t start imbibing to ward off heart disease 1. You can get antioxidants and other healthy compounds from fruits and vegetables. Another reason to get your nutrients from produce instead of wine is that a serving of wine contributes more calories to your daily intake.
