Moody Wine

Moody Wine
There certainly are things that can make you anxious these days. With all the happenings going on it is wonderful to hear that our good friend wine has our back, again. The National Health and Medical Reseach (NHMRC) conducted a study by Dr Brian Rodgers (Psychiatric Epidemiology Reseach centre) showed that there is  U shaped relationship with alcohol consumption. Folks that don't drink and heavy drinkers are at heavy risk of mood and anxiety disorders. The most mentally healthy people in this study were the ones that moderately drank. Some of the conditions included: palpitations, tension in the head and chest, insomnia, nausea, dizziness and hyperventilation. Wine stimulates appetite, aides digestion and helps with obvious relaxation. Philip Norrie MD states that patients have a glass or two in the evening. Thus relaxing the patient with the effectiveness of any anti anxiety pill like benzodiazepines, valium or serepax. Wine in the evening also helps with sleep and eliminates the need of a sleeping pill/aid. Lovely. And with that, I leave you with the words of Oliver Wendall Holms from a letter to the Massachusetts Medical Society. Wine... is a food. Take care
