Whiskey contains little to no sugar content,
making it a great drink for both diabetics and
non-diabetics. It can also aid the body in
maintaining good insulin and glucose levels,
which in turn, reduces the possibility of
developing diabetes. The process of aging the
whiskey in wooden barrels does not just give the
liquid its rich color, but also forms ellagic
acid...
By consuming whiskey regularly in moderate
amounts, people can reduce their chances of
developing diabetes by up to 30 and even protect
against type-2 diabetes.

Our immune system keeps us protected by fighting
off infections and viruses. Antioxidants and
trace levels of vitamins found in whiskey have
been known to stimulate the immune system by
dilating blood vessels and making it easier for
the mucous membrane to deal with common illnesses
like colds and nasal congestions...

While a healthy diet and exercise should not be
traded for a glass of whiskey, studies have also
shown that drinking whiskey moderately can aid in
weight loss. Compared to beer and other mixed
alcoholic beverages, whiskey contains very little
amounts of sodium, cholesterol, little or no fat,
and low calories. Due to its distillation
process, whiskey is also gluten-free, so if you
do come across a really sweet whiskey, know that
it is not sugar...

Separate studies from Harvard University and
the European Heart Journal concluded that
moderate amounts of whiskey can reduce the risk
of heart disease and heart failure. This is
because whiskey increases HDL(high-density
lipoprotein) cholesterol which counteracts the
effects of LDL(low-density lipoprotein)
cholesterol. By reducing the chances of internal
blood clotting and improving blood pressure,
whiskey can help prevent heart diseases...

When taken in moderate amounts, whiskey can be
helpful in improving digestion. Whiskey
suppresses appetite, gets rid of stomach aches
and indigestion by stimulating the stomachs
production of pepsin which is the primary enzyme
in the digestive system that breaks down proteins
into polypeptides...
This amazing beverage is also known to heighten
secretions in the pancreas and gallbladder, which
improves the digestion process.

There are dozens of published works today
extolling the virtues of consuming whiskey in
moderate amounts. These studies have debunked the
age-old myth that consuming alcoholic drinks is
entirely bad for your health. They are only bad
when taken in excess. Now you know that small
doses of whiskey once in a while can help you
maintain your physical and mental health so what
are you waiting for? Pour on a drink today and
toast to a healthier and longer life. Keep in
mind, however, that these health benefits are not
a reason to rationalize your drinking problem if
you are an alcoholic. Enjoy!
