Blog: Wine as a Stress Buster
July 27: I was pleased but amused when I met the well-known cardiologist Dr. Kasliwal, a long time associate of another senior cardiologist Dr. Naresh Trehan of Medanta Medicity Hospital, at a wine dinner hosted by Hotel Leela Ambience Gurgaon where he told me not only was a glass of wine good for heart but it was also a stress buster and that he recommended his patients to quit drinking whisky and switch to a glass of red wines everyday to relieve
