Good news to older women, a glass of wine a day can help towards healthy aging.
Such were the findings of researchers at the University of Newcastle:
"...indicates that moderate consumption of alcohol in older women, in line with Australian alcohol guidelines*, is associated with better survival and quality of life.
However, as warned by the researchers themselves, the above finding is not an evidence that non-drinkers should take up alcohol consumption in older age - as stated by Professor Julie Byles, Director of University of Newcastle's University's Priority Research Centre for Gender, Health and Ageing.

"The health benefits that moderate alcohol consumption can provide are likely to be multiple. Alcohol use can be associated with psychological and social wellbeing which can be considered important health benefits in their own right.
The social and pleasurable benefits of drinking, as well as the improved appetite and nutrition that may accompany modest alcohol intake, could also play a role.
However, our study was not designed to provide evidence to suggest that non-drinkers should take up alcohol consumption in older age."
