TO SAY YOU SHOULD skip the Gatorade and pass the cabernet might be an overstatement, but only slightly. Wine has some surprising health benefits, particularly for heart health. And these may translate to better athletic performance. For starters, wine is a good source of polyphenols; these compounds give the red varieties their ruby hue.

“Polyphenols may increase performance at the cellular level by improving mitochondria function—the powerhouse of human cells that is responsible for energy function,” explains study author Vaughan Somerville. They could also help your heart and improve blood flow, adding to your cardio capacity during hard exercise. Plus, they’re an anti-inflammatory.

It’s best to lay off the booze the night before a big race, but it’s now safe to call steak and red wine a recovery meal.
