New research out of the UK
warns drinkers to take a month off
alcohol to allow their body time to
heal, according to a report in The
Independent.
The work is the second such study
at University College London and
the Royal Free Hospital revealing
that there was a significant drop
in blood pressure, cholesterol and

could achieve these results we
would have a multi-billion dollar
blockbuster on our hands”.
The research continues to
investigate the longevity of the
outcomes if individuals return to
their drinking ways.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 30 Oct 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 30 Oct 15
