“Stop drinking only water, but drink a little wine to help your stomach and your frequent sickness.” -1 Timothy 5:23 (NCV)
Now we have science to back what was apparently common knowledge in the Apostle Paul's day. A recent study showed that red wine helps digestive health by tipping the balance to beneficial gut flora. My experience: a glass of wine in the evening feels great in my sensitive gut and helps keep me away from sweet treats. Just be careful to choose a dry wine so you don’t end up consuming excess sugar with it.
