During the month of January 2016, the Journal of Hypertension reported on a study on alcohol and how it affects the heart and blood vessels. Scientists at the University of Western Australia and several other research centers linked drinking alcohol to blood pressure and heart rate. Their study included 24 participants between 49 and 66 years of age... women drank 230 ml of red wine per day, then switched to dealcoholized red wine or water, each for four weeks. the male participants similarly drank 300 ml/day of red wine for four weeks, followed by four weeks of dealcoholized red wine or water. Red wine was found to increase blood pressure by an average of 2.5 ml Hg compared with water or dealcoholized wine. Red wine also increased the heart rate over either result of the non-alcoholic drinks. The good news is red wine did not affect blood sugar control or any of the body's molecules that can affect the heart. On the other hand, some studies have shown a relationship between alcohol consumption and the low-risk for developing coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary artery disease takes place when the coronary arteries, the ones feeding blood to the heart muscle, become clogged with cholesterol. One such study was reported on in July 2015 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Researchers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville and several institutions in the United States performed a study of 843 male twins aged between 42 and 55 years. Participants reported their beer, wine and spirits drinking between the years 1969 and 1973. In 2010, the participants reported their usual alcohol drinking over the previous year. In 41 years there were... 129 deaths from coronary artery disease, and 219 deaths from other diseases of the heart and blood vessels. Men who drank 10 grams more alcohol per day than their twin brother were slightly less likely to have coronary artery disease or to have died due to any form of heart and blood vessel disease. All three beverages showed the same results. Alcohol was not linked to an overall risk of death from coronary artery disease or other diseases of the heart and blood vessels. One 5 ounce serving of claret has 15 grams of alcohol. One hundred grams of claret contains a little over 10 grams of alcohol. Perhaps the best way to decide how much to drink or not drink should be tailored to the individual. Type 2 diabetics with high blood pressure might be wary while those people at risk for CAD might be better off with drinking a little more. See your doctor or dietitian to see what amount of alcohol, if any, is safe for you to drink. Although managing your disease can be very challenging, Type 2 diabetes is not a condition you must just live with. You can make simple changes to your daily routine and lower both your weight and your blood sugar levels. Hang in there, the longer you do it, the easier it gets.
