Join Beach Cities Health District’s Blue Zones Project for their monthly social hour- Wine @ Five on Tuesday, April 11 at Thai Dishes. Italians drink a glass of red wine with each meal. And they might just be onto something. Studies show that for people who have a healthy relationship with alcohol, enjoying a glass of wine rich in artery scrubbing flavonoids can benefit the health of the mind and body. Unwind with new and old friends at Blue Zones Project’s Wine @ Five. The first glass of wine is $5, plus discounted appetizers.
