NAVRATRI'S are over and Diwali feasts are over. Now it's time for weddings, Christmas get-togethers and a big New Year's do. Booze is all around you. So, what are you drinking? Are you sticking to red wine because it’s supposed to be good for you? And if your answer is yes, then how much? In 2011, the American Heart Association polled 1,000 adults and found that 76 per cent agreed that wine could be good for the heart. but only 30 per cent knew what the recommended limits were.

This was called the …show more content…
The red wine frenzy only began in the 1990s, so the studies can't tell us about long-term outcomes of its effects on heart disease, inflammation and cancer. At best, we can speculate and make inferences. So, does red wine really rule? Various studies have shown that moderate amounts of all types of alcohol benefit our hearts. But red wine gets all the media. And there’s some evidence that any protective benefits of wine on the heart generally only works over the age of 45. And let’s not forget that the polyphenol content in various wines is not the same: it depends a lot on the type of grapes used to make the wines. So not every wine will give you lots of keep-you-healthy antioxidants. And in fact, benefits from the resveratrol in red wine might be outweighed by the alcohol you are ingesting along with it. HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH? You can still give red wine the benefit of doubt. Face it, it’s tasty! But how much is good for you? Many people say they follow the French example and drink two or three glasses of wine a day for the good of their
In the Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls analyzed her mother’s emotional breakdowns. In one instance, she notices “... the positive thoughts would give way to negative thoughts, and the negative thoughts seemed to swoop into her mind the way a big flock of black crows takes over the landscape, sitting thick in the trees and on the fence rails and lawns, staring at you in ominous silence” (Walls 418). Negative thoughts can consume one’s mind, whereas the positive thoughts are nugatory. The negative thoughts keep a person agonizing and stressing over it. This quote emphasizes how a negative mindset can make a person depressed or ill to be around.
It also showed that you were a very intellectual person. At first only people of the highest social classes had wine, but as it became more popular and more was being made, wine became affordable for the lower classes. It is common knowledge that the finer the wine, the more expensive it is and this couldn’t have been more true in these days. There was basically a different wine that each social class drank and the lower down the social ladder you went, the cheaper and not as fine the wine became. According to Tom Standage, “Pliny the Younger…described a dinner at which fine wine was served to the host and his friends, a second-rate wine to other guests, and third-rate wine to freedmen (former slaves)”

Standage describes wine as having a direct correlation with human advancement by quoting a greek scholar; “In the words of Thucydides… ‘the peoples of the Mediterranean began to emerge from barbarism when they learnt to cultivate the olive and vine.’” (Standage 53). Advancements in greek society such as democracy and new sciences were directly impacted by wine and its’ effects on the human mind. In small quantities, wine can allow one to relax making thought easy but, with too much it can cause drunkenness and ill-minded thought. Coffee came into direct play after its’ development as a great soberer against alcoholic drinks.

When I out grew my Shetland pony, my mother and I decided it was time to start looking for a horse for me to continue my riding career on. We had no idea at that time, that horse would be a starving, broke to only the basics, and a recent failure of a pre-purchase veterinarian exam, due to an injury to his fetlock. When we went to meet Hank, who was eventually renamed to Juble, I knew immediately that he was the horse for me, my mom wasn’t as convinced. Much like myself, my mom has a huge heart for animals, especially the ones in harmful environments, which means after minimal begging, she agreed to purchase Juble. This began the long process of helping him put on more weight, helping his swollen fetlock heal, and gaining his trust.
