Drink red wine ( in moderation)
studies seem to show that people who have a daily drink per day of beer, wine, or spirits may accrue some health benefits. But the secrets of the blue zones suggest that consistency and moderation are key. A daily drink or two has been associated with lower rates of heart disease, but alcohol use has also been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer. Red wine offers an extra bonus in that it contains artery-scrubbing polyphenols that may help fight arteriosclerosis.
Lesson four strategies
Introduce a glass of wine into a daily routine
Buy a case of high-quality red wine.
Treat yourself to a "Happy Hour"
Set up yours to include a glass of wine, nuts as an appetizer, and a gathering of friends or time with a spouse.
Take it easy
A serving or two per day of red wine is the most you need to drink to take advantage of its health benefits. Overdoing it negates any benefits you might enjoy, so drink in moderation.
