The news I have been waiting for my whole life!
According to research findings from Reading university, due to be published in the British Journal of Nutrition, champagne is good for you - containing polyphenol antioxidants which reduce the effects of cell-damaging free radicals.
But wait – it gets even better: Dr Jeremy Spencer of Reading University comments; “We have found that a couple of glasses a day has a beneficial effect on the walls of blood vessels – which suggests champagne has the potential to reduce strokes and heart disease…It is very exciting news.”
Move over red wine – champagne awaits…going to have to monitor my bank balance though, I wonder how much more I will spend if I drink 2 glasses of champagne a day? According to the research prosecco and hot chocolate also seem to have the same affects, while a lot cheaper, I’m sticking with champagne for as long as my budget can sustain it – After all, a healthy heart is more important than money right?
