Yes indeed, these are the findings of a special report published by the New England Journal of Medicine, one of the world's most prestigious medical journals, earlier this year.
Excluding pandemics of infectious diseases, famine and war, life expectancy has slowly and progressively increased over the past thousand years. During the mid 19th century, improved living conditions and advances in public health dramatically decreased deaths from infectious disease.
However, during the past 30 years the rise in life expectancy at birth has decreased relative to this historical pattern.
Obesity & Future Life Expectancy
After remaining relatively stable in the 1960s and 70s obesity among adults in the US increased by approximately 50% per decade through the 1980s and 1990s. Now two-thirds of the US are overweight or obese. Obesity has been shown to significantly reduce life expectancy by an estimated 5 to 20 years. The medical treatment of obesity has been largely unsuccessful and death rates from diabetes have risen dramatically. These trends suggest that the relative influence of obesity on the life expectancy of future generations could be significantly worse than it is for current generations.
This review article anticipates that as a result of the substantial rise in obesity and its life-shortening complications such as diabetes, life expectancy could level off or even decline within the next fifty years.
Possibly. There is some evidence that drinking red wine may reduce the risk of heart disease. But this benefit is most likely due to other factors such as antioxidants called flavonoids found in red wine.
Grapes and red grape juice also contain flavonoids.
Red wine also contains a substance called resveratrol, which may reduce the risk of blood clots. Resveratrol is found in the skin and seeds of grapes. But it isn't known if grapes provide enough resveratrol to have a significant health benefit.
The American Heart Association doesn't recommend that anyone start drinking alcohol just to prevent heart disease. If you already drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Keep in mind that drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of:
High blood pressure Obesity Stroke Cancer
In addition, even light drinking can lead to alcohol addiction.

Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline.
Be not afraid of life. Believe that life IS worth living and your belief will help create the fact.
Seek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.
