"Moderate wine consumption" can mean as little as a glass or two per week or as high as one drink per day (for women) or two drinks per day (for large men).

More than this does not offer greater health benefits. In fact, greater amounts begin to worsen health and accelerate mental ability.

This article is great. It just confirmed to me that I am doing the right thing by avoiding red meat, eating vegetables and drinking wine. I love it.

I think you meant part of your last sentence to read "mental disability".

I follow this diet, and so does my father. He is 81 and still walking, jogging, working full time, and his mind is sharper than most people half his age. Last year, when he traveled abroad, he remembered exactly how to get to his childhood home, which he left when he was 10 years old. The cab driver could not believe it as most people would not remember addresses (or directions) from over 70 years ago! Guess the diet is what is keeping his brain and heart healthy.
