Wine in moderation is good for you. Overall, most alcohol in moderation can even moderate cholestoral. My weight, blood pressure, and numbers were real bad. I lost the weight by changing diet. This also relieved me of my blood pressure issues. But my numbers were still really bad. She told me I could drink wine and get plenty of omega-3s to help this. Guess what, after 4 months of this my numbers were back in line where they should be. I'm still a little overweight, but she said other than that I'm now in very good health.

It's not for everyone. But I'm doing far better now. No meds, pills, or prescriptions. Just some holistic health advice based on ancient practices of health and celebrating life.

Im interested in this comment from your doctor. Is there some kind of documentation that points to this?
