Drinking a Little Alcohol Reduces Stress

In the Parents Canada magazine I found something interesting. Some of you might love to read it ... with exception of the teetotalers. Dr William Meller author of Evolution Rx talked with Parents Canada about how to live healthier and longer.
Here is what I believe important to know

Taken from the magazine Parents Canada:
"....
PC: When you tell adults to drink a little, are you talking about red wine?

Dr. Miller: Whether it is beer, wine or spirits, alcohol in modest amounts clearly prolongs our lives. Adults who consume two ounces (60ml) of alcohol (the amount found in one shot glass of hard liquor like whiskey) or six ounces (160ml) of wine or one bottle of beer a day live longer than those who drink either none or more.

Moderate drinkers have fewer strokes, less dementia, fewer, kidney stones and a greatly decreased risk of high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. In fact they have half as many heart attacks as either heavy drinkers or teetotalers....."

This is interesting!
The reason is in my opinion the stress reduction by alcohol. Stress is involved in 85-95% of all health problems.

Makes a lot of sense, doesn't it.
