Residents of the world's Blue Zones, regions known for high longevity rates, attribute part of their long life to moderate wine consumption, particularly red wine, which contains resveratrol, a compound with potential antioxidant benefits. Experts caution that while moderate drinking may have some health benefits, excessive alcohol consumption poses significant health risks. Blue Zone residents also practice the '80% trick' for eating, which involves consuming food until only 80% full, contributing to their overall healthy lifestyle.

Wine consumption linked to lower cardiovascular health, study finds.

A recent meta-analysis published in the Nutrients Journal found that moderate wine consumption has an inverse relationship with cardiovascular mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and coronary heart disease (CHD). The study included 25 cohort and 4 case-control studies with a total of 1,443,245 subjects. The researchers found that the inverse association applied to both red and white wine, but the strength of the association varied due to different concentrations of some components. The study confirmed that moderate wine consumption is good for cardiac health, but researchers caution against increasing wine consumption for patients susceptible to alcohol due to age, preexisting pathologies, or medications.
