Wellness – Health Benefits Of Chocolate & Wine

Transcript

Wine and chocolate contain large quantities of anti-oxidants. However, they’re easy to over-indulge in. Dark chocolate is probably the best form you can consume. You really want to avoid the kinds that contain milk and sugar because these are basically negating all of the health benefits. So go for the highest percentage of cacao and the lowest amount of sugar you can find. Now in terms of wine: red wine is often the highest antioxidant form of wine with pinot noir having the highest levels detected. But again: it’s quite important to recognize that moderate drinking in men is two glasses a day and for women, only one. So keep it in moderation and enjoy it sparingly.
