Aging Over 65
My British Grandmother-in-Law, swore that drinking alcohol would help her live a long and healthy life and she did not miss a day without her “stout” . She also lived to a ripe old age! And it was her doctor who pushed her in this direction! The latest research is saying the same thing.
“Researchers followed 5,595 people 65 and older, recording their medical history and alcohol consumption over 7 to 10 years. The study appeared in the July 18 issue of The Journal of the American College of Cardiology.”
Compared with those who abstain from alcohol, people who consumed 1 to 6 drinks per week were about 16 percent less likely to suffer from heart failure or die of cardiovascular disease, and those who had 7 to 13 drinks per week were about 30 percent less likely to have these problems. ”
And she did more traveling after the age of 65 than you could imagine.
