Debunking the Myth of Heart-Healthy Alcohol
Episode Overview
Alcohol is not beneficial for heart health despite common myths. People drink to escape reality, not to improve their cholesterol. Better sleep, nutritious food, and physical activity are real ways to improve heart health. Misleading studies on alcohol can be dangerous. A compassionate approach to sobriety can help break free from the 'liquid lie'.
