I drink red wine with dinner a few times a week? Is it really beneficial and and anti-aging? I am a 21 year old boy (I look 6-7 years younger), I am 5′7", 105 lbs. I drink Australian Red Wine and other Red Wines (I rarely ever drink anything else like beer or liquor, etc., ONLY red wine), the other drinks I know age you, but Red Wine contains an antioxidant called Resveratrol. I drink red wine about 3 times a week, usually when my mom makes spaghetti or pasta or vegetables, etc. for dinner. I am a vegetarian. I eat light and only healthy foods. I am aware that it [Red Wine] has the resveratrol that has anti-aging properties, and can slow down cellular aging. Is this, the Red Wine, the only exception in alcohol (wine) that is OK to drink one glass a few times a week to avoid aging? Is this the only exception in alcohol that WILL NOT progress aging as opposed to other alcohol drinks like beer, whiskey, vodka, etc.? Is this a good idea to incorporate 1 glass of Red Wine with my dinner 3 times a week or so?
Also, so when I am 80, will I look much younger and still have my fountain of youth?
Drinking a glass of red wine on a regular basis has been proven to be okay. However, to get the amount of resveratrol that has been tested to actually extend life, and treat old age diseases, you would have to drink around 500 bottles of wine. You can only get that amount of resveratrol by taking resveratrol supplements.
Yes Red wine contains Resveratrol.It contains another powerful anti-oxidants named Proanthocyanidins.Proanthocyanidins are the principal vasoactive polyphenols in red wine which is linked to a reduced risk of coronary heart disease and to lower overall mortality.

The resveratrol is all the RAGE right now, and while you’ll get a little bit in red wine, you’ll never notice the effects
Check out the video in the link below to find out your answer!

I have read somwhere that white wine also contains a small amount of Resveratrol. But I can’t remember that there were any other options.
