Drinking Wine Can Make You Sharper

A Norwegian study of 5,033 men and women found that moderate wine consumption (at least four glasses over two weeks) is linked to better cognitive function. 

The researchers say that their results support the findings of 68 other studies comprising 145,308 people; most of the studies also determined that non-drinkers were at greater risk for dementia. 

Scientists suspect this is in part because wine contains antioxidants called polyphenols, which can reduce inflammation in artery walls and improve blood flow to the brain. 

We'll drink to that.
