Why is a little bit of alcohol good for you?

A little bit of alcohol, particularly red wine, has been associated with certain health benefits, such as improved heart health due to its antioxidant properties and ability to increase good cholesterol (HDL). Moderate consumption may also reduce the risk of type 2 Diabetes and promote social interactions, which can enhance mental well-being. However, the key is moderation, as excessive alcohol can lead to serious health issues. Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
