The Truth About Red Wine

The Truth About Red Wine And Your Health

By Angelica Catalano for YouBeauty Recent headlines have caused some confusion by calling red wine an overhyped super drink, calling into question whether the red stuff is actually better for you than your run-of-the-mill alcoholic bevy.

Did you know...

that not getting enough sleep is linked with:

• Increase in body mass index – a greater likelihood of obesity due to an increased appetite caused by sleep deprivation?
• Increased risk of diabetes and heart problems?

I've always thought I needed to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. I've been struggling to get those 8 hours of sleep for some time now. I try but I seem to always fall short an hour. So I decided to do some research and I found out it's 7 to 9 hours of sleep that is best for an adult to get each night. What a relief one less thing to stress about. I'm A.O.K. on the sleeping.
