«Boire du vin pour rester en bonne santé» is Michel Montignac's health book, published by J'ai lu in paperback (258 pages, in French).
Montignac argues that wine, consumed moderately and regularly, has therapeutic virtues. The French suffer three times fewer heart attacks than Americans despite having the same cholesterol and consuming similar fats, because they drink eleven times more wine. He also notes digestive, anti-infective, anti-stress and anti-aging effects.
Published in March 2000, it bears the subtitle «Les vertus et les bienfaits du vin» and belongs to the Bien-être collection.
Recommended for readers interested in the relationship between health, nutrition and wine, and in popular science on food.
Michel Montignac was a French diet developer who originally created the Montignac diet to help himself lose weight, which he based on research that focuses on the glycemic index of foods, which affects the amount of glucose delivered to the blood after eating. The diet, which distinguishes between good and bad carbohydrates, became the basis for best-selling books and a chain of restaurants and stores promoting his diet regimen and was one of the theoretical predecessors of the South Beach Diet.
