A Toast to Health

For many people champagne is a drink meant for special occasions, such as weddings, New Years and the occasional anniversary party. Recent findings have convinced me that the bottle of Moet I have been saving, might be worth opening sooner rather than later.

We have all heard that red wine is good for our hearts, white wine is good for our lungs, and, of course, all wine is good for our taste buds. An April 2007 article published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry reported champagne as a source of brain protection. This sparkling wine, according to the study, may help protect the brain from the injuries common with Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s and stroke. Polyphenols an agent in champagne, is a is an antioxidants containing anti-inflammatory characteristics, on the cellular level. These findings have now led to further investigation of champagne’s influence on health and human lifespan.

So, uncork that bubbly and drink to your health- Make everyday a special occasion!
