Red wine helps you live longer

Drinking red wine may increase the lifespan of a person due to the presence of an antioxidant capable of diminishing the damaging effects of free radicals in the body, a new study suggests.

Research shows that honey bees given resveratrol — a compound found in red wine — ate less and lived longer. In the past, scientific studies on resveratrol have also shown it lengthens the lifespan.
Being an antioxidant, the compound also is capable of diminishing the damaging effects of free radicals - often released during stressful conditions that cause damage to cells and have an effect on how we age.
