More great news for wine drinker’s
Connoisseurs of less fattening drinks such as wine may even lose weight as well as being at lower risk of developing diabetes.
“Light-to-moderate alcohol intake, especially wine intake, may be more likely to protect against weight gain, whereas consumption of spirits has been positively associated with weight gain,” says the paper by researchers at Navarro University in Spain, which has been reviewed by the International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research.
Moderate social drinking reduces the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia by 23 percent, according to researchers at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
There are additional benefits of moderate alcohol use, according to the Mayo Clinic. Moderate drinking may:
Reduce risk of cardiovascular disease
Lower risk of dying from a heart attack
Reduce risk of strokes
Lower risk of diabetes
Reduce risk of gallstones
As they say-Here’s to your health.
