A drink a day for a longer life: study. (Yahoo! News)
Drinking is healthy, exercise is healthy, and doing a little of both is even healthier, Danish researchers reported on Wednesday.
People who neither drink nor exercise have a 30 to 49 percent higher risk of heart disease than people who do one or both of the activities, the researchers said in the European Heart Journal.
“The main finding is there seems to be an additional beneficial effect of drinking one to two drinks per day and doing at least moderate physical activity,” said Morten Gronbaek of the University of Southern Denmark, who led the study.
I just remember the roar of acclaim from my parents and their friends in the early sixties when the Surgeon General declared that wine was good for you. Being good Eastern Oregon Episcopalians, they were way ahead of that curve.
Have a run in the morning and a drink at night huh? Sounds like a recipe for a long and healthy life to me :)
Well if the diet is healthy too I guess!
