Exercise + Alcohol = Healthy?!?
So we’ve all heard that a glass of red wine is good for your heart, but new research from Denmark (are you surprised? nah) show some surprising new findings.
People who don’t drink at all and don’t exercise had the highest risk of heart disease. People who drink moderately and exercise had a 50% lower risk. Teetotaling exercisers had a 30% decreased risk, as did moderately drinking couch potatoes. “There’s an additional protective effect to doing both,” says Gronbaek. “That’s the new finding.”
People who drank (in moderation) had the same health benefits of those who only exercised. Do both and you have cut your risk of heart disease in half!! There also benefits for diabetes and stroke recovery. Unfortunately, the research found that the benefits of alcohol consumption are mostly applicable to those at risk for heart disease, people over age 45.
But no one’s saying we can’t practice, right?
