Red wine for youth and aging

08Jan08

The great debate over how drinking red wine impacts aging in humans reaches a breakthrough. According to this Wired article, scientists for the first time have proof in human subjects that a derivative of an ingredient in red wine combats some symptoms of aging.

Not that any of this really matters. The benefits for drinking red wine far outweigh any possible aging combat benefits. And besides, the longer you are around then the more toxic air you get to breathe, so I don’t see how combating the aging process does us any good.

I don’t mean to be negative or pessimistic, but we really put a lot of stock in to the longevity of life. Especially considering the fact that it is the quality of one’s life that is important, not the length of your life.

So drink up. Red Wine is one of the exquisitely authentic pleasures in our time here on Earth regardless of how it combats the inevitable aging process.
