I Knew I was on to Something

Here's a link to an article in Time Magazine documenting the fact that a half hour of exercise and a drink or two a day is good for you. Specifically, it will help your heart by increasing your good Cholesterol. Even better, if you don't want to exercise a drink or two a day can still increase your good cholesterol. The study found that moderate alcohol consumption and exercise had "an independent beneficial effect on the heart and a compounded effect when practiced together."

On the downside for me, the benefits don't really take effect until you hit 45 or 50. I figure it won't hurt to start good habits early though.
