Drink alcohol in moderation is good: it protects the brain from dementia

Moderation is the true and lasting health. Even something as ephemeral as alcohol, when taken in moderation, can bring benefits to our body. According to a study published in the journal Age and Ageing, in fact, a slight consumption of alcohol can reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. More than a pint of beer to lose weight, in which case it comes to diseases such as senile dementia could be relieved by a glass of wine or beer every now and then.

The German researchers study authors analyzed data from more than 3000 patients to assess the impact of alcohol consumption on brain function. The survey covered 23 studies on the relationship between alcohol and brain studies in subjects with a mean age of 65, noting that so-called consumer "light" 'of alcohol have been victims of a lower incidence of dementia and Alzheimer's, but not the so-called cognitive decline and vascular dementia.

Drinking moderately is good, but certainly can not work miracles, after all. What has been useful to debunk is that alcohol is worse than drugs, when, if we think, alcoholic beverages, however, have a natural base from which one can not ignore. In any case, already authors of research funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, I want to emphasize that 10% of all cases of dementia is related to double knot alcohol abuse long term damage memory and brain power.

As we have repeated many times with regard to nutrition, our body needs food in small quantities, but without sacrificing anything. So even the alcohol should be banned - unless the doctor do not expressly prohibit it - provided it is paying attention to the amount consumed. If we need milk and honey as a remedy for too much alcohol, obviously we have to stop for a moment: we'll be even better following the advice hangover, but our body will come out in any case very experienced.

Exaggerating is never good, because even the healthiest habit of the world, if carried to exaggeration, there harm.
