Looking for a good way to wind down before bed? You may have heard that having a glass of red wine at night can help you sleep better and be good for your health. But is this true?

We’re here to help separate fact from fiction so you can understand if having red wine before bed is good for you (and decide for yourself if it’s something you should have before bed).

Benefits of Drinking Wine

Wine, particularly red wine, has been proven to have many benefits when had in moderation. 

Here are few reasons you should consider having a glass before bed:

It’s Heart Healthy

The Mayo Clinic explained that red wine is high in antioxidants known as polyphenols. These may help protect the lining of blood vessels in your heart, which is why red wine is considered to be heart healthy.

While the experts don’t recommend you start indulging in alcohol for these benefits, if you already enjoy a glass of red wine with your evening meal it may be good for your health.

It Can Help You Sleep Better

A restless night can negatively affect your performance and mood the next day. Luckily, Spoon University reported that people who drank about a glass of red wine every night reported better sleep quality than those who drank just water.

Wine can help us sleep better because the skin of red grapes is high in melatonin. This chemical can help our bodies relax and can help regulate sleep and circadian rhythms.

It May Reduce Inflammation

Resveratrol is yet another compound found in red wine that can be good for you. Many studies have shown that this supplement can stop or reduce the formation of inflammatory components that are commonly associated with chronic disease.

Remember, this benefit of red wine only occurs when it’s drunk moderation. Too much alcohol can actually have the opposite effect and lead to an increase in inflammation.
