WINE that does not hurt our health, with a nutrition label to back it up!
Wine. Vino. We all love it, but the real question is does it love us back?
This is where the magic happens. This is where the organic sustainable grapes are made outside of Tuscany.
During these unprecedented times, with people stressed and stuck at home, the rates of drinking have skyrocketed. Look I get it, we are drinking more than normal as well, but if you are going to indulge make sure it does not negatively affect your health goals and daily life. I am VERY selective in what I drink so I don’t compromise sleep, metabolism, and the next day. I am also very sensitive due to my health issues, so one glass of the wrong wine can ruin me.
This “pandemic” has a sneaky way of making it okay to over-indulge. Do you agree? Not only are most of us drinking more but we are cooking and eating more.
Wine is a staple in many cultures, we drink it in times of happiness and sadness; it relaxes us, makes food taste better, and it is what brings people together.
However it can also be quite the opposite. Vino can cause you to feel terrible. It can give you headaches, disrupt your sleep, increased digestive issues, make you gain weight, spike your blood sugar and leave you feeling like you got hit by a truck.
Thankfully, not all wine is created equal. Just like the food industry, shortcuts start to take place when there is an increase in production. Old traditional ways of procuring the vines, and hand-harvesting methods both take longer periods of time and are more labor-intensive, are now being automated into a more commercial way of making wine. Commercially made wine can contain excess sugar, preservatives, and other harmful ingredients that are added to enhance flavor and aging. To be exact, the wine companies can legally use over 70 added chemicals and THAT is what causes your big fat hangover!
I always tell my clients you get what you pay for. As an expert in keto, low-carb, and inflammation, I will let you in on a little secret. Most conventional wine can have tons of sugar per bottles, think 20-100 grams, more than that chocolate cake!
What makes us have headaches, nausea, hangovers, weight gain, brain fog?
Sugar
Toxins
mold/ Mycotoxin
Preservatives
We must understand what makes us feel good versus bad and why. I am always telling my clients and friends to read labels. Unfortunately, we have NO way of knowing what is inside of a bottle. Well, meet my amigos over at Secco Wine Club. They are the first company to put nutritional labels on a bottle of vino! Let’s not sacrifice health for a good time!
Why is Secco Wine Club TVW approved?
Low sugar + Low carb (keto, paleo and whole30 friendly)
No chemicals
Organic + non-GMO
Dry Farmed (meaning sustainable, higher in vitamins and minerals, and less chance for mold)
No middlemen, they control the process, from grape growing to end-user
Unlike most wine clubs you have to be a member, here you can order 1 bottle or more!
Vegan- yes that is right, some commercial wine has animal parts added for stabilization
Want to try it? Use my code VIDAWELL for complimentary shipping on 3 bottles or more.
I recommend trying a bottle or even better order a mixed case! My favorites are the rose and the Alibea which is served chilled! I can't wait to hear what you think!
