Wine and Digestion

Wine aids in production and flow of gastric juices. This facilitates digestion by breaking down food in stomach quickly and effectively. For many, after age of 50 our bodies do not produce enough hydrochloric acid that are needed for digestion. So many doctors, including my own, have suggested a glass or two of wine with a meal. Who am I to complain?

Wine also has a tranquil effect on body and helps people who have trouble sleeping. And it does not stop there as it may help lower risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer´s disease.

Wine and Calories

As of now, there is no such thing as a diet wine. Unfortunately, there is no getting away from fact that wine contains calories and calories make you fat if you do not burn them up. A glass of white or red wine contains around 100 calories. Sweeter wines that contain residual sugar as well as alcohol have more calories.

Final Thoughts

When you put everything together you may decide that a little bit of wine does you some good. Wine certainly has its place in a healthy lifestyle. That is my conclusion, and I am sticking with it!

The day you begin immediately get rid of ashtrays, lighters and all cigarettes.

Consider finding yourself a friend, relative or co-worker who wants to quit too and support each other.

If stress is a factor then find an exercise program. Joining a nearby health club will be less expensive than cigarettes.

Your home will smell fresh and clean. You'll spend less time, energy and money cleaning your house.

You will reduce risk of fire. As a result your homeowner's insurance rates may be reduced.

Your food will taste better.

Remind yourself of everything nice that you could be buying for yourself or your home with money that you are spending on cigarettes.

As a last resort remind yourself of health benefits. You'll reduce your chances of lung, throat and mouth cancer. Reduce chances of cardiovascular disease.

Stop smoking and body will begin to repair damage done almost immediately.
