*Red Wine fights inflammation, and the diet-inflammation connection has been well established. This is good news for those of us who suffer from autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Studies show drinking a glass or two of *Red Wine daily along with changes in our diet and lifestyle slow down aging, support a healthy immune system, and decrease chronic inflammation significantly.
Chronic inflammation is caused by many factors including genetics, environment and lifestyle but recent studies prove a connection with diet.
The Western diet promotes inflammation, obesity and has largely contributed to the health crisis we face today.
Red wine and a host of other antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dark chocolate, green tea, and turmeric are a *'line of defense' against inflammation.
In a recent study published in May 2008 (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition) it states, "by selecting foods based on total antioxidant capacity it has a 'marked effect' on decreasing inflammatory markers."
Choose Organic *Red Wine to limit pesticide residue.
Green living trends give us great wines from Organic farms and introduce a variety of wines at affordable prices. You can find many at your local supermarket. One of my favorites is a Pinot Noir from California for $13.00. But, I also enjoy many Italian and French wines. We are individuals so our tastes will vary.
'Line of Defense' - Decrease inflammation when cooking by using a variety of spices and herbs like fresh ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, red pepper, raw onions and garlic.
Add raw garlic last to retain nutritional value.

All the more reason to enjoy that glass of Merlot I love in the evening...not that I needed another reason exactly!

Had to stop drinking 12 years ago, need another source of anti-inflammatory? From your Furry Freak Bro.

I want to 'thank' everyone for your comments.
It's truly a pleasure to make so many new friends and receive feedback to my posts.
I need to point out if you're taking medications used in convenitonal medicine, many of these drug therapies conflict with my natural approach to treating autoimmune disease.
Please consult your healthcare professional before use of alcohol including red wine.

I’ve heard that red wine can be beneficial, but found I didn’t like wine. Now, I’m getting really good results with a resveratrol supplement. My gray hair has turned blonde again and I’m no longer wearing reading glasses all the time.

Yeah, alcohol is definitely not allowed with methotrexate and also not a good idea for someone like me who is a recovering alcoholic (24 years). But the diet info is helpful and slowly I have been able to change mine quite a bit.
You mention wheat and peppers are a good part of a diet for inflamation. I thought gluten(wheat) and nightshade veggies(peppers) can be bad for inflammation.?
