Here’s news you can drink to: Red wine may help you beat the blues, according to recent Spanish research.
In the study, people who had between two and seven glasses of red per week faced the lowest risk of depression than any other group of drinkers—including abstainers. Researchers believe that red wine’s potent antioxidant resveratrol—which has also been shown to have cardiovascular benefits—may have brain-protecting qualities, too.
So should you trade in Paxil for pinot noir? Of course not. Keep consulting with your doc for your best depression treatment, but if you want to have a glass or two with dinner, go for it. Guarantee a quality pour every time with these 10 best wines for under $15.
Just make sure not to overdo it: Guzzling more than two drinks a day (or 14 a week) reverses the positive effects and puts you at higher risk for damaged organs, arrhythmias, and liver disease, according to the U.S. National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
