Red Wine Found To Aid Digestive Health

If you want to get some probiotic action going on inside of you & promote digestive health, you don't have to reach for yogurt -- just down some red wine.

I love these articles about how red wine can be a health aid, especially when there's some science to back those claims up. A recent study has demonstrated that red wine -- both with and without alcohol -- promotes growth of "good" intestinal flora, as well as reducing proteins that promote inflammation and lowering blood pressure. In the same study, gin was also found to help with digestion, but to a much less extent.
