Keep Alcohol in Check

A little wine can go a long way. Just one 6-ounce glass for women and two for men has major bang-for-your-buck health benefits. Numerous studies found that wine is good for your heart, keeps your brain cells healthy and helps prevent cancer. Moderation is key (research shows that consuming more than the recommendations may negate the positive benefits) and if you're pregnant or taking certain medications, you may need to put this healthy habit on hold. For the rest of us, turn up a glass of "heart juice" and reep the antioxidant benefits.
