A drink a day may aid blood pressure
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Men with high blood pressure are usually told to avoid alcohol, but U.S. and Dutch researchers reported this week in the Annals of Internal Medicine that a drink or two every day may reduce their chances of a heart attack.
They analyzed data from 11,711 health professionals taking part in a survey between 1986 and 2002. Men who had one or two drinks a day had lower rates of heart attacks.
