Hormesis simply means the protective effects which the body gain by the exposure to low doses of stressors or toxins.
Individuals who have faced low doses of poison can resist the higher or even lethal doses of the same trigger.
Hormetic stressors have been found to influence aging and life span presumably by increasing cellular resistance to factors that might contribute to aging such as oxidative stress.
Alcohol in anti-aging
Though everybody believes alcohol have harmful effect on the body.That’s not exactly true,it has dual response,at low dose it have beneficial effects and at high dose it have harmful effects.
Red wine contains the polyphenol compound Resveratrol which was identified to promote life span and prevent aging in human.
Alcohol in low dose improve the cardiometabolic function,provide some beneficial effects in type 2 diabetes,colorectal cancer and Alzheimer’s diseases.
Gene expression studies in human have shown that resveratol mimics some of the metabolic and gene expression changes of intermittent periodic fasting.
So,periodic intermittent drinking of red wine i.e less than 3 units per day for men and 2 units per day for women is found to improve the cardiometabolic function and promote life span in humans.

Then,
The volume of red wine recommended per day for men is 150 ml and female is 100 ml.
