Let's go ahead and file this one under "Huh??"
According to some Spanish researchers, men may receive some heart-health benefits by drinking 4-10 alcoholic beverages per day.
Sounds like a great way to assure yourself of some heart health. Oh, sure - our livers will probably shut down, but our hearts will be A-OK! If this is the case, then the guys I see hanging around near the fountain downtown must surely have fantastic heart-health. Sure they're socially not the people you would normally invite to your holiday get-together, but at least they're concerned about their heart health, right?
Hey, guys! In all seriousnes, while drinking yourself silly might seem like a fun way to keep your ticker in good health, just keep in mind that most women would probably be attracted to a man whose belly doesn't advertise itself as a "liquid grain storage tank." Now, don't get me wrong: I do enjoy the occasional mixed beveraged in certain social situations, but 4-10 drinks A DAY?? That's just a bit outside of what I'd be comfortable with. After all, I do have a wife and children. And a job. And adult responsibilities... Those things tend to fall by the wayside when one is imbibing from sunrise to sunset.
My understanding is that 30-45 minutes of exercise a few days a week is also good for the heart - and good for the soul! And it will keep you in good social standing with your boss, peers, and friends!
Be well!
