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!
