Tips for a long life? 107-year-old drank up to four bottles of wine every day

Trick for a long life: four bottles of red wine every day
As a rule, health experts are advised to consume alcoholic beverages only in moderation and not on a regular basis. The renunciation of alcohol promotes health and prolong life. For a Spaniard such recommendations did not seem to apply. He was 107 years old and drank enormous amounts of wine every day.

Long life through good genes and healthy lifestyle
It has long been known that genes have a very significant impact on our life expectancy. You control a long life. Lifestyle also plays an important role in increasing life expectancy. As a rule, they are advised to exercise regularly, to avoid being overweight, to eat a balanced diet without too much fat, salt and sugar and to keep their hands off cigarettes and alcohol. The latter did not obey Antonio Docampo Garcia. He drank incredible amounts of alcohol in his life and still lived to be over 100 years old.

Four bottles of red wine a day
The recently deceased Spaniard lived 107 years. On "Twitter" there is an explanation for his exceptionally long life that he apparently enjoyed without healthy eating and sports. It is said that he drank four bottles of red wine every day: two bottles for lunch and two more for dinner. According to the newspaper "La Rioja" ("larioja.com"), his son Manuel Docampo told Lopez that his father could easily drink "one and a half liters at a time". 200 liters of wine sometimes came together each month when both were at home.

107-year-old never drank water
Garcia owned a winery near the Spanish town of Ribadavia. He therefore always drank the organic, chemical-free wine of his own company, Bodegas Docampo. The old man never drank water, his son explained. The 107-year-old Spaniard should be a very exceptional case. The consumption of alcohol promotes or causes numerous diseases, such as fatty liver or gastritis, and increases the risk of a malignant tumor in the liver, stomach and intestines as well as in the mouth and throat area. And although some studies say that red wine is healthy, scientists point out that this only applies to small amounts. (Ad)
