        Alcohol & Chocolate Recommended For Successful Aging

 

One geriatrician's prescription for aging well includes eating chocolate and drinking alcohol.

Apparently, it's all good for anyone interested in living well and feeling better as they navigate their

50s and 60s and beyond. "It turns out that one to three drinks of alcohol and it doesn't matter whether

it's wine or any other kind of alcohol, it's actually good for you," says Dr. John Morley, director of the

division of geriatric medicine at St. Louis University and co-author of "The Science of Staying Young."

"You will think better, you will function better (and) you're less likely to get heart disease," he said.

With that said, you don't want to drink if you're a recovering alcoholic and you shouldn't eat more than a

small piece or two of dark chocolate a day. But in the book he co-authored titled "The Science of Staying Young,"

 Morley recommends focusing on the things in life that you enjoy. "One of the things we've learned is staying

young requires a good attitude to life," he said. The key is moderation and focusing on fun -- advice that

isn't meant to add years to your life, but help you feel better and stay active during the decades when

energy and health can start to decline.

# G  Did You Know

 1) High level of tannins from grape skins and seeds are blamed

for the hangover many women suffer after just one glass of red wine,

explains neurologist Brian Grosberg, M.D., of the Montefiore Medical

Center at the Albert Einstein Collage of Medicine in New York City. 

Opting for low-tannin wines  --- whites, rose', and light red, like Beaujolais.

instead of high-tannin wine cabernets and Chianti.

2)  Published online in the journal BMC Public Health. Researchers found

that among more than 8200 U.S. adults, those who said they enjoyed a drink

every day are 54% LESS likely than non-drinkers to be obese. Similarly, those

who drank a little less (a few drinks per week) had a lower risk of obesity

than teetotalers did. As expected, heavy drinking and irresponsible binge drinking

raised the odds for obesity. Responsible drinking of an alcoholic beverage shows

a connection between heart disease and now body weight.

Conclusion;   Sitting down and relaxing with a drink of wine or beer, before

or with your dinner each evening may take the edge off the day's woes.

We always new it was good for your soul, but even better being good for your heart

and waist line is just a little plus in life.
