Wine helps Women's Heart Health 


It's official. A glass of wine a day keeps heart risk at bay -- at least for women.
Researchers at Sweden's Karolinska Institute in Stockholm found that women who had already suffered a heart attack or had heart surgery for blocked arteries had higher Heart Rate Variability (HRV) if they drank moderately than if they were teetotal.
HRV measures the intervals between heartbeats, with lower rates being associated with higher risks of heart disease and death.
