"If you don't believe you could possibly give up these beverages, just try to limit your consumption to one cup of coffee in the morning and/or one alcoholic beverage (preferably red wine) in the evening. Although red wine will still tax the liver, research indicates that moderate consumption of red wine might help to protect you from heart disease and can have a positive effect on cholesterol levels and blood pressure." - C.

"Migraine patients believing that red wine specifically—rather than alcohol in general—provoked their headaches were tested for the effects of red wine or a diluted vodka mix disguised to taste and look like red wine and controlled for equivalent alcohol content. Nine of 11 patients experienced migraines following the consumption of red wine, while none of the 8 vodka consumers experienced migraines. T.J. Littlewood et at, "Red Wine as a Cause of Migraine," Lancet: (March 12, 1988): 558-59." - Dr. Gary Null, The Woman's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (Get the book.)

"Pomegranate juice contains the highest antioxidant capacity compared to other juices, red wine, and green tea," says Michael Aviram, D.Sc, a professor of biochemistry and medicine at the Rappaport Family Institute for Research in the Medical Sciences in Haifa, Israel, who led the team of Israeli researchers. What the Research Reveals He's not alone in his opinion. Research at the University of California confirms that the antioxidant capacity of pomegranate juice is two to three times that of red wine or green tea. The research on pomegranate juice is mounting, and it's impressive." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The Most Effective Natural Cures on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth about What Treatments Work and Why (Get the book.)

"It contains three basic cancer-smothering components: red wine, olive oil, and garlic. Health Benefits of red wine þThins the blood (red wine reduces platelet activity, which plays a key role in heart attacks) þMay reduce strokes (platelet activity is also related to strokes) þContains antioxidants (two glasses boost antioxidant flavonoids by 40 percent) þLowers cholesterol (resveratrol in grapes lowers cholesterol) þEnhances blood flow (red wine causes the blood vessels to relax, promoting a healthy cardiac system) þPromotes a favorable fat profile (red wine—not white wine?" - J.

"Although red wine will still tax the liver, research indicates that moderate consumption of red wine might help to protect you from heart disease and can have a positive effect on cholesterol levels and blood pressure. If you do drink any alcohol, try eating a small fiber-rich snack—such as a piece of fruit or half a cup of whole-grain cereal with skim milk—with a bit of protein, like a bite of chicken or salmon. The food will slow the absorption of the alcohol, so it might help you to avoid a quick buzz and an impulsive order of cheese fries." - C. W.

"If you like red wine, as many Mediterraneans do, you will be pleased to know about red wine polyphenols, compounds that change the properties of blood lipids to make LDL more resistant to oxidation. Moderate wine drinkers have a significantly lower mortality rate from coronary heart disease. Reservatrol, an antioxidant enzyme present in the lining of the grape, has been suggested as the antidote for keeping the incidence of French cardiovascular disease at a low level despite a typically fat-rich diet. From the Asian drinking tradition we recommend green tea." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Littlewood decided to conduct a research project on the red wine connection. She recruited 19 patients who reported that red wine brought on their headaches. Eleven were asked to drink a red wine-lemonade mixture. The others were offered vodka with their lemonade. Of the 11 who were given the red wine and lemonade, all but 2 experienced a migraine attack. Yet of the 8 who drank vodka and lemonade, none complained of headache symptoms. What's the link? The researchers believe it's tyramine, a substance found in red wine that causes blood vessels to contract." - Patricia Hausman & Judith Benn Hurley, The Healing Foods: The Ultimate Authority on the Curative Power of Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Rich sources include grapes, grape juice and red wine. According to Dr. James Howenstine, author of A Physician's Guide to Natural Health Products That Work, 20 mg of resveratrol daily provides maximal health benefits. red wine has 0.2 mg per glass. Since drinking 100 glasses of wine would prove toxic indeed, wine is definitely not the best source of this nutrient! Phytochemicals also include flavonoids, lycopene and quercetin. To get the full spectrum of phytochemicals, you should eat from each of the colors of fruits and vegetables: green, yellow, red, orange, white and purple." - Susan E.

"Drink a glass or two of red wine daily. Tonino, Sebastiano, and Giovanni all drank wine moderately. Can-nonau wine has two to three times the level of artery-scrubbing flavo-noids as other wines. Moderate wine consumption may help explain the lower levels of stress among men. Laugh with friends. Men in this Blue Zone are famous for their sardonic sense of humor. They gather in the street each afternoon to laugh with and at each other. Laughter reduces stress, which can lower one's risk of cardiovascular disease." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Foods containing tyramine, such as red wine, aged cheese, and smoked fish; nitrates, including hot dogs and bacon; and monosodium glutamate (MSG); 270 and caffeine are commonly implicated, as are chocolate, nuts, aspartame, and fermented or pickled items. Conventional treatment usually consists of pain-relieving medications, preventive medications, and avoiding triggers. Complementary medicine offers a host of other remedies, including dietary and environmental changes; herbal, vitamin, and mineral supplements; homeopathy; acupuncture; and biofeedback.

"So even if you think aspirin, coffee, and red wine are benefiting you, from a purely technical standpoint they are toxins by virtue of the fact they are foreign substances that your body, and especially your liver, has to process. Obviously, there may be a time and place for these substances, and it's important to note that not all "toxins" are bad at all times." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"They are also a good source of resveratrol, an antioxidant also found in red wine that may help fight heart disease.

"Francalacci opened a bottle of Sardinian Cannonau red wine, and his animated conversation resumed. During the middle Bronze Age, a tribal culture called the Nuraghic civilization (in a sense, the root culture of the Sardinian Blue Zone) began in Sardinia, he said. The Nuraghi people are named after the stone towers found all over the island. By the time of Christ, other civilizations had also discovered Sardinia's riches and charms, and for most of its early history the island was knocked around like a rugby ball—invaded, conquered, and exploited by outsiders." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"As with triglycerides, you can improve your HDL levels by making modifications to your diet, especially by including healthy fats (such as monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids), avoiding trans fats (discussed in chapters 5 and 6), exercising, drinking only moderate amounts of alcohol (one to two glasses of red wine daily is acceptable), maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking. You may be surprised, for example, that something as simple as adding walnuts to your diet each day can improve your HDL levels." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"A serving or two per day of red wine is the most you need to drink to take advantage of its health benefits. Overdoing it negates any benefits you might enjoy, so drink in moderation. LESSON FIVE: PURPOSE NOW Take time to see the big picture Okinawans call it ikigai, and Nicoyans call it plan de vida, but in both cultures the phrase essentially translates to "why I wake up in the morning." The strong sense of purpose possessed by older Okinawans may act as a buffer against stress and help reduce their chances of suffering from Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, and stroke.

"Green Tea Catechins Catechins are derived from a number of sources, including green tea, red wine, and dark chocolate (see [186]). The most extensively studied have been those from green tea. (? Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is the primary compound in green tea that is thought to provide the numerous beneficial effects that have been shown in many studies to provide a number of health benefits ranging from cancer treatment to cardiovascular function." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The mechanisms underlying this lower CHD incidence have been associated with antioxidant phenolic compounds or antithrombotic substances in red wine [213-215]. A recent review, however, reported that prospective population studies provide no consensus that wine has additional benefits, and various studies show benefit for all three major beverage types (wine, beer, and liquor) [216]." - Ann M.

"In contrast to this, controlled trials have found moderate consumption of red wine to inhibit oxidative modification of LDL-C [217, 218], improve coronary blood flow [219], and improve markers of inflammation [220], as well as reverse the impaired endothelial function caused by cigarette smoking [221]. Therefore, further randomized studies are required identifying benefits of other alcoholic beverages on CVD risk factors, and to assess whether moderate wine consumption is more protective than these beverages against cardiovascular risk." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"So researchers begin looking for synergies between nutrients: Might the antioxidants in the red wine help metabolize the fats? Perhaps. But it seems unlikely that any single food, nutrient, or mechanism will ever explain the French paradox; more likely, we will someday come to realize there never was a paradox. Dietary paradoxes are best thought of as breakdowns in nutritionist thinking, a sign of something wrong with the scientific consensus rather than the diet in question." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"The result was a red wine with two to three times the level of artery-scrubbing flavo-noids than other wines. Goat's milk and mastic oil may be Sardinia's other two longevity elixirs. Research at the University of Sassari is looking at the question of whether proteins and fatty acids in Sardinian goat milk may help protect people from the typical diseases of aging such as atherosclerosis and Alzheimer's disease. Mastic oil (with its antibacterial and anti-mutagenic properties) was used in some parts of Sardinia in place of olive oil." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Green tea and red wine are beneficial in the same way. The rest of your plate should be balanced with whole grains, proteins, and dietary fats. Low-carb diets may help you lose weight, but they're not good for your brain. Whole grains have complex carbohydrates that supply a steady flow of energy rather than the spike and crash of simple sugars, and they're necessary to transport amino acids such as tryptophan into the brain. As you learned in chapter 4, tryptophan is a precursor necessary for the production of serotonin, and it and other important amino acids come from protein." - John J.
