What are the health benefits from drinking red wine?
Well first of all I’m 19 years of age 5’3 and approx 125 pounds. I just recently started drinking red wine because of the great health benefits it gives people. So is drinking at least or over 4 cups a day still as good or is that a little too much?
& I also forgot to include the kind of red wine I drink. Franzia red wine- boxed
The health benefits are that it’s good for your heart & is very rich in antioxidants. 
The recommended drink per day for women is 4 oz.

Benefits:
Antioxidants found in the skin of red wine grapes can have beneficial effects in women. Red wines can help prevent some cancers and heart disease, while also reducing inflammations caused by arthritis. One study determined that revesterol, an antioxidant found in the red wine grape skins, might inhibit tumor development in some cancers. Other studies have shown women who drink one to two glasses of wine daily have 5 to 8 percent denser bones, preventing injuries. Another study noted this same antioxidant helped form nerve cells, which may help treat Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and other neurological diseases.
Negatives:
Excessive drinking of red wine or alcohol can lead to negative health effects for women. Many times excessive drinking can foster weight gain and addiction problems. It can cause a rise in the levels of LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol. In addition, studies have shown that red wine increases estrogen levels in women, possibly forming an association between breast cancer and red wine or alcohol intake. Red wine and other alcohol can impair judgment and the decision-making process. Always use caution.
