A glass a day of a popular drink may help defend your body against rheumatoid arthritis by lowering inflammation, according to a study in Sweden. Ten weekly glasses work even better.
The researchers have found that a glass of wine (or another alcoholic drink) daily significantly reduces your risk of arthritis. In this research, 10 drinks a week were optimal.
?Several previous studies have indicated a suppression of the immune system by alcohol and a recent study showed that it prevented development of destructive arthritis,? says researcher Henrik K?llberg at the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm. ?However, until now, epidemiological investigations on the effects of alcohol on RA were scarce and inconsistent. These data now show not only that alcohol can protect against RA and reduce the risk conferred by smoking or susceptible genes, but also gives an idea of the relevant alcohol doses necessary.?
