Hello Doctor,

 

Is it healthy to consume a glass of wine every day? I'm wondering if having wine daily could have any health benefits or risks. Could it be good for my heart or cause any issues in the long run?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

 

No, of course not. While moderate alcohol consumption, including a glass of wine, may have some potential heart benefits, it also carries risks. Drinking alcohol daily can lead to health issues such as liver damage, high blood pressure, and an increased risk of certain cancers. Additionally, regular alcohol consumption can affect sleep patterns, mental health, and lead to dependency over time. It's important to enjoy alcohol in moderation, if at all, and consider the potential long-term effects on your health. If you're concerned about your drinking habits or health, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional.

 

Thanks
