WINE MAKES WOMEN HEALTHIER?

A couple of glasses of wine a day in mid-life could make women healthier in old age. Scientists say moderate drinking can lead to ’successful ageing’, and cut the risk of stroke.

Results from studies suggest concerns about the disadvantages of drinking may have been exaggerated, with evidence that steady consumption of alcohol over a lifetime may have some health benefits.

The researchers looked at levels of drinking around the age of 58, and found women who had one or two drinks most days of the week had a 28 percent better chance of ’successfully surviving’ to old age, compared with non-drinkers.
