I'll Drink to That

Can drinking wine keep you youthful? Many studies have shown that wine, red wine in particular, contains anti-aging properties. Red wine is rich in polyphenol antioxidants, minerals and resveratrol. Antioxidants absorb damaging free radicals that play a role in aging and age-related diseases. Resveratrol is known for its anti-cancer, anti-aging, antiviral and cardioprotective effects. Resveratrol is found in grapes, pomegranate, blueberries and cranberries.

Dr. Richard A. Baxter, MD, plastic surgeon and author of Age Gets Better with Wine, said drinking a glass of red wine a day is the single most important thing you can do besides nonsmoking, from an anti-aging pont of view. But he cautions you can have too much of a good thing. He recommends one glass a day for women and two glasses a day for men. Drinking more than recommended can have the opposite effect on your appearance and health.

A glass a day and your skin will glow. As anti-aging advice, this is as good as it gets.

Cheers,

Amy

PINKALICIOUS for June!

PINK is my FAVE color. Always has been, always will be. If there is a choice, I will always purchase "the pink one". My favorite pink color combination is Pink & Black. I like Pink & Green, too. It reminds me of my junior high Izod days. Here are some of my PINK obsessions:

Pink Catawba Wine from St. James Winery
in Missouri. I have it shipped to me by the case.

A lovely rose color with a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness, like a ripe apple. Pink Catawba is a great sipping wine and an excellent complement to fresh fruits.
