Lets face it...who can possibly go through life without having a drink or two? Especially when you have get togethers or simply if you had a stressful day and want to sit back, relax, and have a cold one. Moderation is the key, and that does not change when we are talking about alcohol, but what is your best option? Well, you may know that red wine has its antioxidants, but thats not our first pick.
Sure you can have alcohol...but try Sangria over wine. A glass of Sangria contains about 150 calories with almost every single calorie benefiting you. Vitamins and minerals can be found in the organic orange juice and fruits. Next, there are the anti-oxidants and resveratrol which is found in grape skins and seeds. Studies have shown that resveratrol increases HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol) and prevents blood clotting. Just make sure you pick a good red wine.
If possible next time you are out with family or friends, stick with that sangria, you'll be able to "enjoy your drink" all while getting in your nutrients!
Moderation, exercise and happy living my friends!
