Want to reduce your risk for diabetes? Try drinking alcohol a few times a week.
A new study, published in the medical journal Diabetologia, suggests drinking alcohol three to four times a week will reduce the risk of developing diabetes. The research monitored the drinking habits of more than 70,000 Danish participants over a five-year period, from 2007 to 2012.
According to the research, moderate drinking reduced the chance of being diagnosed with diabetes by 32 percent for women and 27 percent for men when compared to those who consumed little, if any, alcohol. Men who consumed 14 alcoholic drinks per week and women who had nine drinks per week were the least likely to develop diabetes. The survey recorded 859 men and 887 women were diagnosed with diabetes during the study period.
