For you, a day without wine really is like a day without sunshine. The good news is, medical researchers have found that, thanks to the antioxidants and various other organic compounds in wine, moderate consumption -- for women, that's usually one glass a day -- may provide advantages from improved cardiovascular health to increased protection against stroke, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Remember though, that frequent overindulging can have an adverse effect on your overall well-being. (And at about 120 calories per serving, that includes your waistline.) To benefit most from your daily glass, don't just knock it back: Take the time to really savor its taste, and always treat wine as a supplement to a nutritious, balanced diet.
