Question

Alcohol consumption is encouraged to be limited to no more than one per day for women and two per day for men. How may the moderate consumption of alcohol reduce the risk of heart disease

Answer 1

Answer:

Moderate alcohol consumption, regardless of beverage type, reduces risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) among men and older women. There is strong evidence to support that ethanol, the main constituent in alcoholic beverages, is causally related to lower risk of CHD through changes in lipids and hemostatic factors.

Although heavier drinkers are at increased risk for some heart diseases, moderate drinkers are at lower risk for the most common form of heart disease, coronary artery disease (CAD) than are either heavier drinkers or abstainers.
