JUST one pint of beer is enough to improve the condition of major blood vessels around the heart, according to a new study.
Arteries became more flexible and blood flow improves within a couple of hours of drinking the equivalent of two-thirds of a pint, say scientists.
Some evidence already suggests a pint a day may reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by up to 30 per cent.

So, drink up folks - it's good for you.
Alcohol-free beer however does not have the same powerful effect. Best to pour it directly down the sink.

"a pint a day may reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes by up to 30 per cent"
So, obviously 4 pints a day means I should never have a heart attack or stroke???
Combined with the fact that a couple of glasses of wine is also good for you, I will spend the test of my (long!!) life in a very good mood
Cheers!

They'll be telling ya that having sex regularly is good for ya prostate gland next.
(*_*)

"regularly"
Dog, I'm more interested in the "frequency" !! "Regularly" could mean once every 5 years or 3 times a night!
Any advice? ;-)

I met this new woman. I asked her her views on sex. She said I want it infrequently. I said, is that one word or two?

Well Phill, y'all know what dogs are like.

Keep away from my leg then..........

Funnily enough, my 13 year old Ridgeback has never been like 'that', unlike some dogs I've known.
He's never even had an erection to my knowledge, and I've had him since he was a pup.
I remember some years ago reading in Mens Health mag that it's good to 'flush' the prostate twice a week, but is it I wonder?
Seminal fluid, if unused, is reabsorbed into the body I believe (all that luvly Zinc)
Perhaps I need have a word with one of those celibate Catholic priests about it.
