According to this study, people who had heart bypass surgery and consumed about two drinks a day afterward had fewer subsequent cardiovascular procedures than those who abstained.
They topped the tea-totalers in health!!
In fact, light alcohol consumption was associated with a 25% reduction in additional heart procedures, heart attacks or strokes.
“The benefit of light amounts of alcohol consumption has been documented in healthy individuals, but our analysis showed a benefit from light alcohol intake in post-coronary bypass patients,” said Dr. Umberto Benedetto, of the University of Rome La Sapienza.
Heavy drinkers, however, were twice as likely to die from heart problems, the study found.
