As a short follow up to yesterday's posts on healthy drinks (my next post will be on juicing and a few other healthy eating tips), I did want to mention alcohol.
Over the last few years, many have shared with me that they have heard how red wine helps cancer.
The resveratrol in red grapes/red wine has shown to be a possible antioxidant and now even comes in pill form.
However, red wine is another product that those with current cancer need to reconsider as red wine is 1) very high in sugar content (remember sugar causes inflammation in cells for those dealing with chronic illnesses, etc) 2) red wine is recommended for people who are healthy, or those in remission. If you are interested in taking resveratrol and are someone dealing with cancer at this time, it has been suggested that resveratrol be taken in pill form to avoid the sugar in the red wine.
***Ounce for ounce, peanuts have about 25% as much resveratrol as red wine. I snack daily on peanut butter***
Sending hope and joy on this beautiful day!
