Healthy Cocktail
Sounds like an oxymoron to me! This stacks right up there with the news that chocolate and wine are good for your heart. Remember everything in moderation (an RD’s favorite phrase). Turns out strawberries, blueberries and blackberries get even more healthful when they’re accompanied by a splash of alcohol.
Researchers have found that adding ethanol to these berries increased antioxidant capacity and free-radical scavenging activity of the fruit.
Don’t forget: Moderation means 1 drink a day for women and 2 drinks a day for men. Some people should not drink alcohol if they are taking medications, have liver problems, abuse problems or have high triglycerides. Please drink responsibly – do not drink and drive.
