Red wine helps clear acne, slow aging and drop blood pressure. Now experts in the US have found that it can also aid in keeping memory sharp.
Researchers at three US Universities have found a link between moderate drinking by people over 60-years-old and memory. In cases where people over age sixty did not drink, their memory recall was not as good as those who drink moderately. Moderate consumption of alcohol is defined as two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women.
Despite an apparent desire to help citizens drink less, troubling news from the UK is raising questions about practices in pubs and restaurants.
Recent news out of the UK shows a desire to help citizens cut down on their drinking by providing medication that cuts the desire for more than one drink. Despite recognition that there has been an increase in the amount of alcohol consumed, drink driving fatalities and other alcohol-related concerns, many pubs and restaurants are breaking the law and possibly putting citizens at risk.
In addition to recent surges in China’s wine culture, another unexpected country is grappling for some of the winelight: Mexico. Here are the vineyards to learn about if you want to start exploring Mexican wine.
While Chilean wine has been popular for a long time, Mexico hopes to be the next country in the Americas to produce good wine and with a similar climate to California, the idea isn’t that far fetched. Mexico has produced wine since at least the mid-1500’s but is just now starting to make itself known on the world stage. While reds are currently the star of the show, Mexico hopes to produce stellar whites as well with many vineyards growing the grapes and dabbling in the development of whites that will be more acceptable to the experts.
