Drinking alcohol in moderate quantities can reduce the risk of asthma, according to Danish researchers. The studyfound that drinking 1-6 units of alcohol a week could reduce the risk of developing the condition.
The results showed that the lowest risk of asthma was seen in the group which had a moderate intake of alcohol, as less than 4% of those who drank 1-6 units per week developed asthma.
The highest risk of asthma was observed in people who drunk rarely or never, as they were 1.4-times more likely to develop the condition. Heavy drinkers also had an increased risk of asthma development and were 1.2-times more likely to develop asthma.
