| Classic Sangria |
In this classic red sangria recipe, we've skipped
the added sugar and used fruity red wine, orange-flavored liqueur and
fresh fruit to create a delicious, yet healthy cocktail.
Raise your glass for heart health! In moderation, alcohol is known to
raise HDL, or "good," cholesterol. Drinking a daily glass of red wine
increased "good" HDL cholesterol and also decreased "bad" LDL
cholesterol after a few months, found one study. Red wine also contains
antioxidants called polyphenols that help keep your blood vessels
healthy and strong. Remember that moderation means one drink for women
or two for men daily and, in this case, more is not better.
