MAGIC OF MARTINIS!

-

ONE of life’s small pleasures is a glass of red wine over dinner with friends. Now I discover this might help me join that exclusive club: the superagers.

These are people in their 80s and 90s whose brain scans have shown signs of dementia, yet they live untroubled by symptoms. Their secret? Researcher­s found they tended to be sociable and bounced back well from stress.

And that’s not all. One of the superagers explained: ‘ It’s because I have a martini with my friends every day at 5pm.’ A reason to be cheerful indeed!
