“HDL
(good cholesterol), which carries cholesterol from cells of the body
and arteries back to the liver, removes extra cholesterol and helps slow
down the progression of coronary heart disease (CHD). Which is why low
HDL (less than 40 mg/dl) may actually increase the risk of coronary
artery disease and stroke,” explains Dr Gupta.

Jaswal, senior consultant, cardiac pacing and electrophysiology, Fortis
Escorts Heart Institute, New Delhi, says: “It has been proven that red
wine helps to increase HDL in the blood. A glass is all you need to
complement the food. The key is moderation—just one or two glasses every
day.” A study by researchers from the Israel Institute of Technology,
Haifa, published in the July 2010 issue of ‘The American Journal of
Clinical Nutrition’, noted that daily red wine consumption for 21
consecutive days significantly improved the health of cells lining the
blood vessels, which then improved blood flow and heart health.
