Red Wine and Grapes
Grapes and red wine are rich natural sources of resveratrol. This compound is mainly known for its positive actions on the cardiovascular system, but it also helps improve 
hormone levels and sperm production in the body.
Resveratrol is a type of antioxidant. It helps protect the cells from toxins and free radicals. Grapes as well are rich in health-protecting antioxidants, including resveratrol and flavonoids. These antioxidants are found mainly in the skin, stem, leaf and seeds of grapes, rather than in their pulp. Likewise, the level of antioxidants, such as resveratrol, found in wine varies, with higher levels in red wine. Alcohol in moderation can relax blood vessels and increase levels of HDL, the “good” cholesterol. But the substances believed to provide much of red wine’s heart benefits — resveratrol and flavonoids — are also found in grape juice, especially the variety made from red and dark purple Concord grapes.

Drink too much and you can damage your body, but in moderation, one glass a day for women and two a day for men, you might enjoy alcohol’s health benefits. If you prefer not to drink alcohol, the good news is that you can get the same health benefits from wine with significantly lower alcohol levels, Halpern says. Generally, it’s good for your health!
