Summary

When I was in my 20s I bought into the idea that drinking in moderation was “good” for me. And why wouldn’t I? Red wine was being marketed as a “health” food. Articles and research being circulated claimed that drinking red wine would give me health benefits ranging from lowering bad cholesterol, regulating blood sugar, reducing my risk of cancer, keeping my brain sharp, my heart healthy, my body slim and that red wine could even treat the common cold! Don’t believe me? If you search “Is Red Wine Good For Me?”, this article will pop up just under one by Web MD: 10 Health Benefits Of Drinking Red Wine That Will Keep You Healthy. It’s full of sketchy science and claims that have been disproven in the last decade and was shared by…(wait for it)...a winery The truth is that alcohol is a toxic, psychoactive, and dependence-producing substance and has been classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer decades ago – this is the highest risk group, which also includes asbestos, radiation and tobacco. And now that an analysis of decades of research on alcohol’s negative effects on your brain and body have forced the news media to report that Moderate Drinking Has No Health Benefits it’s time to turn our attention to what actually can make our bodies healthier: nutrition. Here’s the headline you need to know Not only is embracing an alcohol-free lifestyle a positive health choice, but nutrition can help you reduce alcohol cravings and heal your body from damage caused by alcohol. I asked Dr. Brooke Scheller, author of "How to Eat to Change How You Drink," to dive into the science behind how nutritional choices can curb cravings to drink, heal your gut, improve your mood and support your journey to sobriety. 3 Ways I Can Support You In Drinking Less + Living More Join The Sobriety Starter Kit, the only sober coaching course designed specifically for busy women.
