In this busy life, it is difficult to get sufficient sleep. But the fact remains that sleep is the best remedy for the human body. The body needs time to heal and recover from the day’s stress. This, in turn, helps the body to cope up and be prepared to fight any infection or disease that could affect the body.

4 – Red Wine is Good for the Body
