Dr. Claudia Kawas, is an MD in Nuerology. Not only is she Chair in Clinical Neuroscience, but also a Professor of Neurobiology & Behavior and Neurology. As a result, she knows her shit. Dr. Kawas has vast experience in the brain and how it functions. She claims drinking alcohol is better for you than exercise, and has the data to back it up.
Dr. Kawas and her team of doctors and professors analyzed data from a long term study conducted at the UC Irvine’s Institute for Memory Impairments and Neurological Disorders. They dubbed this study the “90+ Study” which has been following people over the age of 90 since 2003.
The research covered everything from daily exercise to sleep schedule to diet. As a result, the researches concluded that people who drank two glasses of wine or beer per day saw an 18% drop in their risk of early death. On the other hand, those who exercised 15-45 minutes per day only saw a 11% drop. In other words, drinking alcohol is better for you than exercise for longevity of life.
“I have no explanation for it, but I do firmly believe that modest drinking improves longevity. Honestly, I don’t think we need any further explanation. I’m sold.” This is what Dr. Kawas said at the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s annual conference. So not only does beer make you live longer, apparently it also makes you lose weight, which we have proof from Del Hall.
