The Drink Which Will Prolong Your Life

Drinking is something that all humans have to do, even if it is only water but what you drink can make a significant difference as to how long you may live.

Obviously, if you excessively drink too much alcohol you will of course vastly reduce your chances of being able to live to a ripe old age and do a great amount of damage to your body and your mind.

But there is one drink that you can consume on a daily basis which will prolong your life. It is a drink that really tastes good and will make you feel good every day that you drink it.

The drink that tastes good, makes you feel good and will prolong your life is Port. Good quality port is only produced in the northern region of Portugal close to the city of Porto.

Port is a unique blending of ninety four percent red wine and six percent brandy. The reason for this combining of red wine and brandy originated hundreds of years ago when the English traders wanted to transport the really good quality red wine from Portugal to England.

They decided that by adding a small quantity of brandy to fortify the red wine it would allow the drink to remain in good quality for the very long journey by ship to England.

Nowadays port is shipped all over the world from Portugal and is served in many restaurants as well as being available in wine merchant stores and even on the shelves at the supermarkets.

A glass of port each day on its own or with cheese and fresh bread will prolong your life because it has the qualities to thin your blood, cleanse your liver and eliminate some of the cholesterol in your arteries.

Drinking port on a daily basis will also reduce your chances of having a heart attack and other related heart problems.

My home is now Portugal and it has been for nearly ten years, all of my neighbours are Portuguese and most of them are over eighty years old, some are even over ninety years old.

All of them have told me the same thing, they have drank a glass of port each day since they were old enough to be able to drink alcohol and it is the reason that they have lived so long.

I am also drinking port each day, it tastes good, makes me feel good and I know that it is prolonging my life here in Portugal.
