BEER VS. WINE Is There a Healthier Beverage?
Pick your poison: Beer or wine? When you judge these popular adult drinks by flavor, there’s no wrong answer. It all boils down to personal preference. But when you’re seeking the healthier option, there is a clear winner, and the champion might surprise you. A 5-ounce glass of red wine is just 125 calories, while your average bottle of craft brew can pack over 300 calories. However, when it comes to nutritional value, beer contains high levels of proteins, fiber, B vitamins, folates, and niacin, making it more of a meal than a drink — not that you should replace your dinner with a bottle of beer. A study from the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture found that wine does have nutritional value of its own, boasting 187 mg of potassium and a significant amount of fiber. Additional research suggests that small doses of resveratrol, found in red wine, can help slow the effects of aging, while flavonoids found in wine might help protect _____________________________ Write your name here and fax the completed puzzle to 860-533-0585, send it via empty delivery box, or bring it to the shop and receive 10 percent off your next order .

your skin from harmful UV rays. These findings are promising, but wine still elevates your triglyceride levels, which can lead to heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and kidney damage. Shockingly, beer has a lot more going for it, even if excessive amounts can lead to heartburn. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that the hops in beer can increase bone mineral density, which means it makes your bones stronger! Commission E — Germany’s equivalent of the United States’ FDA — has even approved hops to treat restlessness, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. When you compare the numbers, beer comes out on top, but only by a little. Regardless of whatever nutritional value or health benefits these drinks provide, alcohol always comes with risks. Overindulging in alcohol can lead to liver damage, dehydration, dependency, and impaired motor skills. Feel free to enjoy your favorite drink this holiday season, but please drink responsibly.

“This place has been a godsend. So many reasons this works for me:
1. I recently lost 40 pounds (juice fasting) and needed a way to eat good, healthy, well-balanced meals. I have not gained a pound since finding October Kitchen meals. 2. Price: I don’t like to cook and sometimes I don’t have time. So often I would do fast food or eat out to avoid fast food. Well, the fast food, while slightly cheaper, left me hungry because it was devoid of nutrition, and the eating out kept me eating more and in the poor house. 3. Variety: While I have my favorites (tomato pie is the best!) I have not had this variety at home in years (probably never). 4. Portion control: The single meals are the perfect size for me. I don’t overeat, and at under 500 calories, it’s perfect. 5. Healthy: Meals are tasty and many are gluten-free. Not eating bread and gluten has certainly been helpful in maintaining my weight loss and has also given me energy to power through workouts. 6. Great customer service! Everyone is so helpful and happy. I tend to want happy people cooking my food. I could go on, but I won’t. Truth is, I don’t like every meal I’ve tried, but I have taken a lot of risks trying foods I’d never had, so that’s completely understandable. Some foods you may not like. But that happens for me few and far between. I highly recommend, and you won’t be disappointed.” –Jeff H
