"In two new studies published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, researchers delved into the coffee-drinking habits of more than 700,000 people in the U.S. and in 10 European countries. The scientists were particularly interested in looking at death rates among people of non-white populations. In both studies, people in these groups who drank more coffee tended to have a lower risk of dying during the study period than those who drank less coffee, or no coffee."

Drink 3 to 5 Glasses of Red Wine to Prevent Heart Attacks

Resveratrol May Replace Aspirin as Heart Protector; Longevinex(R) First Branded Resveratrol Pill Successfully Tested During Experimental Heart Attack - PR Newswire

---  the original post follows below  ---

I was originally disappointed when I first scanned this Medical News Today article, Resveratrol May Replace Aspirin As Heart Protector; Longevinex® First Branded Resveratrol Pill Successfully Tested During Heart Attack.

As a red wine lover, my disappointment turned to joy when I read this:

The amount of resveratrol in 3 to 5 glasses of red wine is only about 3-5 milligrams, but the heart protective effect is believed to be produced by the total polyphenolic molecules in a glass of dark, aged red wine, ~60 milligrams per 5-ounce glass. The optimal health benefit derived from red wine is achieved at a consumption level of 3-5 glasses, which would be considerably more expensive than a resveratrol pill, and certainly pose the problem of inebriation.

In a nutshell, I get to drink red wine to, pardon the pun, to my heart's content!

Series About Wine And Your Heart

I ran across this information packed and thought provoking series about wine and your heart. It consists of 3 parts:

• Part I: More than just Enjoyment!
• Part II: Preventing Heart Attacks
• Part III: To the Heart of the Matter

Ellen Mack, M.D., M.P.H., the author, says:

The first two parts (see Part 1 &Part 2) of the series Wine and your Heart examined some of the vast epidemiological and scientific evidence that moderate consumption of wine is associated with decreased cardiac mortality. Is this information being put to good use?

For me, this all means, drink a little to be healthy. Cheers!

Up To Moderate Drinking And Socializing Good For You

It turns out that light-to-moderate drinking enhanced with socializing has been linked to a lesser risk of ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease, reports this EurekaAlert news article, "Light to moderate drinking and socialization are jointly good for cardiovascular health." Here's the bottomline . . .

• While heavy drinking is associated with a greater risk of stroke, light-to-moderate drinking has been linked to a lesser risk of ischemic stroke and coronary heart disease.
• New findings show that social support may enhance the beneficial effects of light-to-moderate alcohol consumption on risk of cardiovascular disease.

Cheers to good friends and safe drinking!

NIH NIAAA Wants Re-Thinking Drinking (video)

Take some advice from these testimonials:

• "Sometimes we do things out of habit and we don't really stop to think about it. This made me think about my choices."
• "It emphasized that drinking is not bad in and of itself—it's how much you're doing it and how it's affecting your life."
• "I thought the strategies for cutting down were really good. It gives you tools to help yourself."

Learn more about the NIH & NIAAA's new initiative to help rethink drinking, "Rethinking Drinking - Alcohol and your health. The website is pretty robust and easy to use.

• Download the free brochure: Rethinking Drinking - Alcohol and your health (pdf)
• The site features interactive tools, such as calculators for measuring alcohol calories and drink sizes. NIAAA is part of the National Institutes of Health. "About 3 in 10 U.S. adults drink at levels that elevate their risk for alcoholism, liver disease, and a diverse array of other physical, mental health, and social problems. Yet, many people give little thought to their drinking habits and the attendant risks" notes NIH Acting Director Raynard S. Kington, M.D. "These new materials remind all of us to think about how alcohol may be affecting our health"

If you don't have time to check out the website, listen to this ABC News video to learn more, "Do you drink too much? A new government initiative to help you rethink your drinking" (video)"

Swill Coffee To Lower Dementia Risk

Drink coffee and reduce your risk of developing dementia, reports this New York Times article, Coffee Linked to Lower Dementia Risk. The article talks about recent research that found out that the subjects who had reported drinking three to five cups of coffee daily were 65 percent less likely to have developed dementia, compared with those who drank two cups or less. As a coffee and green tea drinker, I'll have to make sure I drink that extra cup or two of coffee for myself (since my habit is to usually start with one cup of coffee, then transition to green tea).

Wine contains a substance called resveratrol. It's reported to offer some health benefits by cleaning blood vessels and to reduce the risk of heart attacks and stroke. Dr. Norrie talks about the wine he makes, that contains much more of the substance than most other wines, in this MSNBC News video, "Bottoms up for a healthy heart."

A word of caution, the purported health benefits in people are yet to be definitively proven.

21st Birthday - Extreme Drinking Binges - 12 drink avg for men

More fuel for the debate on lowering the drinking age to 18. This USA Today news article provides some pretty staggering statistics, "Students mark 21st birthdays with 'extreme' drinking binges." In a nutshell, here are some important takeaways stated in the article . . .

1. College students today celebrate 21st birthdays with an average of 12 drinks for men and 9 for women
2. The University of Texas-Austin research found 78% of students cited ill effects, including hangovers (54%). Of 44% who had blackouts, 22% found out later they had sex, and 22% got in a fight or argument. And 39% didn't know how they got home.
3. Harvard researchers have found more binge drinking at campuses with a strong drinking culture and easy access to alcohol. In Austin, 12 of the 152 students reported 21 or more birthday drinks. At the University of Missouri, a study of 2,518 students published in June found 34% of men and 24% of women had 21 or more.

It's Sweltering - 10 Hydration Tips

10 tips for staying hydrated this summer - Nebraska Medicine - University Health Center

---  the original post follows below  ---

We're in a little heat wave here, so I thought I'd pass this gem along, from The HomeChoice Network, "Ten Easy Tips for Adequate Hydration." The HomeChoice Network is a senior-care service located in the Sandhills area of North Carolina. Although I don't live in NC anymore, seeing this brings back some memories of how hot it can get there in the Summer. In a nutshell, their ten tips are . . .

1. Drink fluids with each meal and snack and throughout the day.
2. Keep a bottle of water within reach. The faucet may be close at hand but how many times do you actually get up to fill your glass?
3. When you travel - by car, plane or train - always carry a bottle of water with you.
4. If you don’t like drinking plain water, add a splash of white grape juice, cranberry juice or black currant concentrate. Or, try a glass of sparking mineral with a slice of lemon.
5. If you deprive your body of fluids because you don’t like the taste of tap water, buy a water pitcher with an activated carbon filter. Always keep a full pitcher in the fridge. (And don’t forget to replace the filter periodically!)
6. Use a water bottle when you exercise. Drink 4oz – 6oz of fluid every 15 minutes.
7. If your physical activity lasts longer than one hour, hydrate with a sports drink such as Gatorade, All Sport or PowerAde.
8. If you drink fruit juice, choose only unsweetened varieties that don’t have sugar added.
9. Keep your coffee intake to a minimum. Ideally aim for no more than two cups per day. Replace unnecessary coffee (and soft drinks) with herbal tea, black tea or green tea. You get much less caffeine, and in the case of black and green teas, plenty of health enhancing antioxidants.
10. Limit your intake of alcoholic beverages to no more than seven per week (women) or nine per week (men). When you drink, drink a glass of water after each alcoholic beverage you’ve consumed.

Drink Red Wine - Live Longer !?

This is such a fun topic for me, and this fountain of youth article is a fun read. I love to drink red wine, and sure, who wouldn't want to live longer! I'm staying optimistic that the animal studies suggesting that red wine or a substance in it, resveratrol, can really contribute to longevity. It might be a very long time until we really know for sure. But heck, I'm all for drinking more red wine for now. Bottoms up! Cheers!
