It is really exciting to be sharing the knowledge I have gained over a short period of time. The best part is drinking red, dry wine while caring for your health! My favorite is Pinot Noir, of all makers and brands. The reason is complex, although I am here to help you through your new-found knowledge to effective nutrition. Before getting into veggies, I want to cover why red, dry wines are okay to have when eating correctly.
Red, dry wines do not appear to have any sort of fat gaining effects on the body (unlike beer) when wanting to 1) lose weight and 2) maintain weight. The reason? When used in moderation, approximately two glasses a night at most, do not have a fructose level that of fruit, white wines, champagne, fruit juices, or anything enhanced with high fructose corn syrup. The body will not store the sugars as fat which is a beautiful reward at the end of the night.
Not only does red, dry wine make you feel free from 'dieting,' it also enhances the antioxidant levels in your body which fight free radicals and aging. Fun Fact: Did you know this aids in internal sunblock also? The more antioxidants present in your body, the less likely you are to be susceptible to fragile skin. This isn't the only benefit though.
What types of wines can I have, specifically?
Pinot Noir
Merlot
Cabernet
What types of wines do I avoid?
Malbec
Temperanio
Zinfindel
White Wines
Chardonnay
Riesling
Champagne
Wine Coolers
Do avoid mixtures of Pinot Noir, or other dry wines, with any of these above said wines in any sort of combination
Again, avoid any wines with a high possibility fructose, it will just break down into simple sugar leading to weight gain. This also applies to every other alcohol like beer. Do not consume this except on the seventh day free-be's. You will be surprised to taste how sweet beer is and you may not even like it. Taste buds adjust rather quickly and will pick up on too much of one thing after lowering intake levels of sodium and sugar.
Happy Drinking! More to come -JLO
