研究表明:每週五杯酒能降低心臟疾病風險

Drinking alcohol in moderation is beneficial to the heart, a new study has revealed. Those who drink wine, spirits or beer regularly are less prone to heart failure and heart attacks than people who rarely or never drink.
一項最新研究表明，適度飲酒對心臟有益。那些規律飲紅酒、烈酒或啤酒的人與從不或極少飲酒的人相比，患心力衰竭和心臟病發作的機率要小。

Three to five drinks a week are part of a heart-healthy lifestyle, scientists concluded.
科學家對此做出總結：每週喝三到五杯酒是對心臟有益的健康生活方式。

Drinking a little alcohol every day can be part of a healthy lifestyle, Imre Janszky, a professor of social medicine at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology said. When consumed in moderation, alcohol does more good than harm, he added.
挪威科技自然大學社會醫學教授伊姆勒·央斯基表示，每天少量飲酒是健康生活方式的一部分。他還補充說道，只要適度飲用，酒精就會利大於弊。

It's primarily the alcohol that leads to more good cholesterol, among other things,' he said. But alcohol can also cause higher blood pressure, so it's best to drink moderate amounts relatively often.'
“最主要的是，酒精能夠產生更多有益膽固醇。”他說。“但酒精同時會造成高血壓，所以，最好是規律飲酒，且每次適量。”

There is a general consensus among the scientific community that three to five drinks a week can be good for the heart.
在科學界一直都有一個共識：每週三到五杯酒是對心臟有益的。

The relationship between alcohol and heart health has been studied in many countries, including the USA and southern European nations,' Professor Janszky said.
“包括美國和南歐一些國家在內的很多國家已經研究了酒精和心臟健康的關係。”央斯基教授說。
