Many of us know to cut the risk of strokes and heart diseases, now the scientists also said that drinking a glass of wine a day may cut the risk of dying from Dementia. Alzheimer’s sufferers who consume two to three units of alcohol every day are significantly less likely to die. According to a report, around 850,000 people in the UK are affected by the disease and many more are predicted to have dementia by 2025.

Scientists from the University of Copenhagen conducted a study on this said the results may reduce not to the alcohol, but the social atmosphere in the pub helps keep the brain young. In the study involving 321 patients with early stages of Alzheimer’s, scientists have found out that 77% who drank the recommended daily wine consumption had lowered their risks of death compared to those who drank one unit or less every day.

• Less than half a teaspoon of fat is all that it takes to turn someone into a type-2 diabetic according to a study that could overturn conventional wisdom on a disease affecting nearly 3 million people in Britain.
• Scientists have found people who eat large amounts of white vegetables were a third less likely to contract stomach cancer.
• Parents have been warned that giving children Paracetamol-based medicines such as Calpol and Disprol too often could lead to serious health issues later in life.

The researchers from Danish Alzheimer’s Intervention Study said, that their results were not conclusive; adding the lowered risk of death may be due to other factors. Dr. Andrew Sommerlad, a clinical training fellow at University College London, said the results of the study were “interesting” and built upon other evidence suggesting “drinking small amounts is unlikely to be damaging and may even confer some health benefits.”

“The results of our study point towards a potential, positive association of moderate alcohol consumption on mortality in patients with Alzheimer’s disease,” a spokesman stated. According to NHS guidelines, the recommended daily consumption for women should not exceed two or three alcohol units, while men should limit up to three or four units. “I think it is also probably the case if we are to do anything about this, targeting one particular aspect of lifestyle don’t help,” Dr. Sommerlad, whose present research focuses around dementia, told.

“We need to focus on a whole range of lifestyle ‘multi-domain approaches’.” “Some studies have suggested that moderate alcohol intake could have a protective effect on the brain, but further research is needed to explore this and help determine a specific ‘safe’ level of alcohol consumption for healthy people and those living with dementia,” said Alzheimer’s Research UK’s Dr. Laura Phipps.
