The reduction in daily alcohol consumption decreases the risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure and help you lose weight, shows study published in the British Medical Journal.
Unlike many doctors give advice to patients, that a glass or two of alcohol a day is good for the heart, research goes in the opposite direction and says that the measure "is the brand."
The work was done by researchers who were based on 50 studies on habits of alcohol consumption and its relationship to health in more than 260 000 Europeans.
Experts gave special attention to people who had a variant of a gene called ADH1B and less risk of alcoholism.
The new study found that individuals with this genetic variant drank 17% less per week and were 78% less likely to go drinking throughout the day. In parallel, Showed a 10% lower risk of coronary heart disease, and high blood pressure and lower levels of body mass.
"These results suggest that the reduction of alcohol consumption, even with low intake to moderate, it is beneficial for heart health," the study concludes.
However, it is not consensual, whereas other experts have warned of the fact that consumers with the genetic variant may have other health factors that influence the decrease of the risks caused by drinking.
