Report: Drinking red wine can improve your fertility

Do you ask for a bordeaux or syrah when the server comes around? Cheers to your health!

There’s been many claims about the health benefits of red wine. Prevention magazine says it has been linked to sharpening your memory, weight loss and lowering your cholesterol.

A new claim says it may even help boost a woman’s fertility.

Metro UK published a study at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri that asked 135 women between the ages of 18 and 44 to keep a diary of what they drank every month.

They found that those who drank at least 5 glasses of red wine per month had a larger bank of eggs.

Although red wine may increase fertility, doctors do not recommend drinking while pregnant. Alcohol exposure to a developing fetus could cause irreversible damage.

So, overall, it appears you may be more fertile if you are a regular red wine drinker, but once you are trying to conceive, it’s time to pass on the drink menu.
