Wine As Exercise

Here’s some news we can use and abuse.  University of Alberta researchers say studies with rats suggest that drinking red wine can be as good for the heart as an hour exercising in the gym!  The compound called resveratrol is the secret.  The study was published in the peer reviewed Journal of Physiology last year.

Thank you Fred Tasker of the Tribune News Service for reporting this information!  It seems a wine club membership could be just as healthy as a gym membership.  That’s what I’m talking about!  Let’s get those hearts in shape by joining a wine club, such as the Carrera Wine Cellar Wine Club!  After all, your heart deserves it!

Speaking of strong hearts, I was reading The Hill the other day and came across an article by Derek M. LaValler.  It is titled “Fun Facts About Wine”.  In it he reported “The alcohol bill for a celebration for the 55 drafters of the Constitution represented 54 bottles of Madeira, 60 bottles of Bordeaux, 8 bottles of whiskey, 22 bottles of Port, 8 bottles of hard cider, 12 beers, and 7 bowls of alcohol punch large enough that ducks could swim in them.  These people must have had some strong hearts!

I think I will honor the Constitution and drink more wine.  It will be good for my heart and patriotic too!

Cheers,
