What is the "fitness wine" and should you drink?
For many active people, there is almost nothing better than engaging in a glass of vino after a long dreadful workout. So when we've heard about Fitvine wine, a new range of biohacked wine made for athletes, we were dying to learn more.
According to the brand's web page, the Fitvine mixtures of Chardonnay and Cabernet wear less residual sugar (sugar remaining after the fermentation process) and fewer carbohydrates and calories than traditional wines. (Less sugar = fewer calories and carbohydrates. It's meaning.) They also claim that their vino contains a heavier antioxidant punch than competition through their "high-end filtration process and a Extended fermentation process ". The only problem? We could not continue a lot of proof that the drink lives in its complaint - and that the nutritionist could not either have we registered to investigate.

"As there is no nutrition label available for review, I can not say if this wine is nutritional different from other wine varieties," says dietitian and fitness-shaped expertIsabel Smith. "In addition, all wines did not add sugars or high residual sugar numbers, so if they charge a bonus for that, it may not be worth it," she adds. "No matter the nutritional information, however, alcohol must always be consumed with moderation - especially if you are trying tolosing weight. Pick Fitvine on another type of wine certainly does not mean it's free for all! "
As far as the assertion is concerned that it has more antioxidants of health protection, there is no way of a Joe-or a health expert - to say if that's true. Although Smith says it is possible, it is still not convinced that the fitness wine is superior in any way whatsoever: "when the grapes used to make the wine are treated at a lower temperature, This can help maintain a higher concentration of nutrients. There is not enough information on the site of a nutrition expert you like to say anything about the benefits of the product health with too much certainty, "she adds.
If you are interested in giving the wine a try, go ahead! I just do not have to be better for you than your vino. But, sweet wine lovers, beware: less residual sugar is a wine, dryer it will be. For some best sweet wine options for you, check these16 best wines for weight loss.
