Healthy Diet – Wine

You’ve probably heard that wine and other types of alcohol can be good for your heart, but that’s only if you enjoy it in moderation. Pouring a 5-ounce serving of wine isn’t easy. And most of us get it wrong, according to one study.

• Is Red Wine Good For You?

Recommendations:

• The portion size for wine is one 5 ounce glass per day for women and for men it’s two glasses. Drinking more than that can undo the health benefits of alcohol and sabotage your diet.
• A glass of wine has about a hundred and twenty-three calories and a recent study found most of us pour far more than we should.
• Use a narrow white wine glass rather than a wider red wine glass. If you are using a red wine glass, stop before you get to the widest part of the glass and set it down before you pour.
• Slow down and savour your drink and alternate sips of wine with sips of water – This simple strategy will make you less likely to pour out a second glass of wine and help you stay hydrated.
• 1 standard 750 millilitre wine bottle has five 5 ounce glasses.
