According to a doctor of medicine, drinking water and good red wine can promote longevity.

“Most often, residents of the “blue zones”, that is, regions of the world with the highest concentration of people who live to be 100 years old or more, prefer to drink water,” the doctor said.

In the doctor's opinion, the connection between adequate water consumption and longevity are attributed to the health-improving effects of drinking moisture. What water does to the human body:

• Stimulates the removal of toxins.
• Helps maintain normal blood pressure. Contributes to the efficient transport of nutrients by the body.
• Improves the balance of electrolytes.
• Supports active metabolic processes.

The list of drinks preferred by long-lived people also includes red wine (it should be dry, of high quality).

“Red wine contains a large amount of resveratrol – an antioxidant that helps reduce the level of “bad” LDL cholesterol, reduce inflammation and prevent damage to blood vessels,” the doctor explained.

In turn, another doctor, Dana Ellis Hannes, named black coffee as one of the drinks associated with longevity. Its grains are rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and other substances with an anti-inflammatory effect. Drinking coffee has been proven to reduce the risk of some chronic diseases, including heart and vascular diseases, diabetes.
