Drink Beer Get Smaller Brain
Research from Wellesley College in Massachusetts reports that drinking beer or wine can cause the brain to shrink.
In the study, the heavier drinkers had brain shrinkage of 1.6% more than those that didn’t drink at all. Normal shrinkage from aging is approximately 0.19% a year. Comparatively, the shrinkage is drastic.
Women, long-term drinkers and the elderly seemed to be most prone to the shrinkage.
Killing brain cells can lead to memory loss, loss of coordination, confusion and brain shrinkage to increase the risk of epileptic fits and dementia.
Recommendation? Pass on the alcohol completely. The minor reported benefits from red wine can be more easily gained by eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially red grapes.
