A Norwegian study from the University of Tromsoe found that people who drink two glasses of red or white wine a week score higher on intelligence tests than people who don't drink wine at all.
Cognitive performance is sharper and the mind stays more responsive. Scientists believe this comes from natural substances in wine, such as polyphenols and antioxidants, which slow cognitive decline.
So a glass of red or white wine is no longer just a pleasure for the palate, a moment of joy or of quiet reflection. It is also a way of taking care of yourself, improving your mental and cognitive faculties.
Wine is a natural cure-all: it slows the aging of the mind and is best enjoyed in the company of friends and family. From today, we can say that raising a toast with a glass of wine is not just a nice gesture, it also makes you smarter.
