100-year-old woman reveals that drinking loads of wine is the secret to living longer

Yessssssssssssss! - by Amy Sinclair
  • 23 Nov 2018

When it comes to living longer, there are a lot of tips and tricks out there - take a multivitamin, eat a balanced diet, cut out smoking, do exercise each day. 

But of all the advice we’ve heard over the years, we’ve finally found one tip that we can really get onboard with - drinking wine! 

100-year-old woman reveals that drinking loads of wine is the secret to living longer

Florence Bearse recently celebrated her 100th birthday in Maine, New York, and when asked what her secret was to reaching the century milestone was, her response was enough to put smiles on the face of merlot drinkers everywhere. 

‘I like my wine,’ she revealed. ‘Don't take it away from me."

But it seems there might be some scientific evidence to back up Florence’s secret to longevity. Several studies have shown that drinking wine can actually reduce your chance of having a stroke, developing Type 2 diabetes and also lowers your risk of heart disease. 

Downing a glass of plonk a day can also, scientists say, slow the rate at which your brain function deteriorates. And another medical study revealed that drinking wine could delay the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

And if you’re a fan of red wine - like Florence - there are even more benefits, as the athocyanins and resveratrol in red wine regulate cholesterol levels. 

So all in all, it really looks like Florence is onto something. Pass us another bottle!
