All Of My Friends Know I Enjoy A Glass Of Medicinal Red Wine,

it is said to protect against conditions such as heart disease and dementia,
now there is even better news, it appears that the chemical resveratrol, found in red grapes and red wine can also protect against hearing loss, a study conducted at the Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, under the leadership of Dr Michael Seidman said: 'our latest study focuses on resveratrol and its effect on the body's response to injury - something that is believed to be the cause of many health problems including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, ageing and hearing loss, resveratrol appeared to reduce the damage to hearing from loud noises, resveratrol is a very powerful chemical that seems to protect against the body's inflammatory process, as it relates to ageing, cognition [brain function] and hearing loss',


the study is published in the journal Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, as an aside last month scientists from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reported that washing down red meat with a glass of red can actually prevent the build-up of cholesterol in the body, the researchers found that after eating red or dark meat, compounds called malondialdehyde accumulate in the blood stream, these can help to form the type of cholesterol that can raise the risk of heart disease, meanwhile drinking a large glass of red wine every day could help prevent bowel cancer, Leicester University researchers said recently,


so it is all good news for me, the only problem now is with the definition of the word patience, 'a word thought up by old deaf people - to give them longer to think of an answer!'
