Well, we know this one is hard to believe but it is true! Wine helps in improving the cognitive functions of the brain because of the chemicals present in it. The ingredients present in wine prevent our brain's neurons from dying. This, as a result, protects us from health problems like Alzheimer's, cataract, liver damage and depression.

#5 Promotes longevity of life

If the rest of the points were not enough of a reason to try some magical wine for a healthy living then this one has to. Red wine helps you to live longer, yes you read it correctly! Researchers at Harvard have proven it in a study based on red wine, that it activates a protein in your body that acts as an anti-ageing agent.
