France's New Year Rx For A Sharper Brain!

                            Ring In The New Year With Champagne! 

If you're a regular reader of this blog, then you may have read a post
or two on the benefits of a drink a day. An alcoholic drink a day.

And if you plan on ringing in the New Year, do it with a drink
that's closely related to the wealthy and the French. 
The drink: Champagne.

Made from grapes that are grown in the Champagne region
of France, new studies say a few glasses of champagne a week
can improve both long-term and short-term memory, abstract reasoning,
concentration and overall smarts. 
How is this possible?
Champagne is loaded with brain-protecting antioxidants and polyphenols--
and the fizzy bubbles, they speed the flow of neuron-nourishing blood to the brain. 

So, if you were reluctant to spend money on champagne, perhaps
a sharper brain may be all the incentive you need. 

Good Luck!
