Abstract

Positive symptoms drinking small amounts of wine, beer and other alcoholic beverages on mortality of myocardial infarction, stroke, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, to improve the quality and prolong life and slow down the signs of aging are caused by alcohol itself. This is due to an increase in HDL cholesterol, reduce platelet aggregation and reduce fibrinogen levels.

The rational is to drink small amounts of any type of alcohol most days of the week. Drinking wine should be preferred to other types of alcohol consumption.

The reason might be the fact that the wine, unlike other alcoholic beverages, may positively influence effect of antioxidants. Between white and red wine is no difference and it makes no sense to believe "French paradox", which prefers red wine before white.

The decisive criterion remains let taste sensation.
