Pour grape juice in your wine glass

Studies involving daily consumption of grape juice show reduced risk of blood clots, lower blood pressure/cholesterol and improved blood flow. Your best bet is to choose juice made from red and dark purple Concord grapes. So on your next trip to the store, toss a bottle of grape juice and carpet cleaner in your cart.
