description: In Red Wine for Your Health, Andrea Schaffer investigates the restorative and healing powers of this age-old beverage. Based on a scientific study called the French Paradox theory - an experiment that found that wine-drinking cultures such as France had much lower rates of heart disease and stroke than did countries where wine is less often consumed - Red Wine for Your Health clearly explains the role of red wine consumption in improving cardiovascular fitness. Schaffer outlines the complex workings of the heart and circulatory system and explains how recently discovered naturally-occurring chemicals like flavonoids and antioxidants have been scientifically proven to have a positive impact on the body's cardiovascular system. The benefits of red wine in treating bacterial infections, stomach aches, kidney stones, and many other ailments, is also explored.
