Moderation in alcohol intake a factor in living longer

Two new studies point out the importance of exercise for a long, healthy life, but they also recognize the benefit of moderate alcohol intake. For many years, alcohol consumption has been a topic of conversation when it comes to health behaviors that may influence heart disease and diabetes. A few years ago, red wine took the spotlight as a way to reduce the risk of heart disease.

The Copenhagen City Heart Study followed nearly 12,000 Danish men and women for 20 years and documented the number of people who died of heart disease. The men and women were divided into three categories for exercise - inactive, low activity and moderate to high activity.

Inactive people reported reading, watching television or going to the movie theater but no other physical activity. Those in the low activity group reported two to four hours per week of walking, cycling or light physical activity such as gardening. The moderate to high activity level category meant participants were engaged in vigorous activity for more than four hours a week.

Alcohol consumption was recorded by researchers and groups were defined as non-drinkers, moderate drinkers and heavy drinkers. One to 14 drinks per week is considered moderate intake with one drink equal to one beer, 1 ounce of distilled spirits or one 4-ounce glass of wine. General recommendations have been no more than one drink per day for women and no more than two drinks per day for men.

The study subjects who both exercised and had at least one alcoholic beverage per week had a 44 to 50 percent lower risk of heart disease than those who were inactive and did not drink. Nondrinkers who increased their exercise to the moderate or high level had a 33 percent lower risk of heart disease than the inactive nondrinkers. Heavy alcohol users reported more than 15 drinks per week and had about the same risk for heart disease as nondrinkers.

A British study asked 20,000 participants between the ages of 45 and 79 about smoking, exercise, alcohol use and fruit and vegetable intake. Those who reported they did not smoke, did exercise, used alcohol in moderation and ate at least five servings of fruits and veggies per day lived an average of 14 years longer than those who smoked, were inactive, did not drink alcohol and ate fewer than five servings of fruits and vegetables daily. These results were true regardless of economic status or body mass index. The researchers concluded these four health behaviors were associated with living longer more productive lives even if the subject was overweight.

Given that some people choose not to drink alcohol for any number of reasons, these studies suggest being more physically active, giving up smoking and increasing fruit and vegetable intake can reduce the risk of heart disease and increase life expectancy. The important message when it comes to alcohol intake is moderation. Previous studies have linked heavy drinking to a greater risk of heart disease.

Public nutrition therapeutic Manual - Brief Introduction

Three meals a day, how to choose foods contain nutrients to know how to match needs with nutrition knowledge. You know that the human body contains more than 60 kinds of life-sustaining activities of the physiological function of inorganic elements in the extent of trace elements in the human body and the role of micro-special? We know that the human body must have more than 10 kinds of vitamins, neither heat , nor as human tissues of raw materials, but the maintenance of human health effects are extraordinary. Carbohydrate is the body s main source of energy, but preferable excessive, redundant sugar will be converted into stored fat in the body, adverse health. Various types of animals and plant foods is a protein in human tissue repair the basis of material, such as to give full play to its physical value, they also eat in a reasonable with the problem. Knowledge constantly updated dietary fiber used to be that the human body is unable to digest food residue, and now that there are antidotes its body, purge, anti-cancer, lower blood lipids, and other physiological functions. Acidic Food partial eclipse of fatigue, memory loss, and the acidic food? Children Vegetables basic food can be increased intellect, which also contain basic food and how many food can be hypoglycemic, blood fat, or have a role in lowering blood pressure, and cancer food and how many? a fresh one drink, how many things For nutrition, the book will give you a glance.n
