A Votre Sante!



Doubly good!   (Photo by A. Savin)
Lifting weights (short of a hernia) can help folks to live longer.  Lifting wine glasses can be better yet.

Neurologist Claudia Kawas’ 90+ Study from the University of California showed that a “moderate amount of alcohol each day” lowered the risk of “premature death” in seniors.  The study interpreted “moderate” to mean “two glasses of wine or beer.”

But wouldn’t that cause unhealthy weight gain?  Not necessarily.  In fact, the same study concluded that seniors who were “overweight in their 70s” lived longer than their thinner counterparts.

Not fond of alcohol?  Then try coffee instead.  Two cups per day increased the chances of seeing tomorrow by 10%.  Spending two hours per day on a hobby more than doubled that beneficial percentage.
