Hey it's Kirk here, with Heroic Fitness, hope you're having an epic weekend so far. And I HOPE you didn't throw out all your alcohol after my last email...
Because after Thursday's "doomsday" email on how drinking alcohol can set you back... I want to bring you some good news.
(and I better! I came into boot camp on Friday and 3 clients said they wanted to shoot me)
(I think they were kidding. They said: "I want to shoot you, just kidding" but kept a straight face during the "just kidding" part......)
So, OK, yeah alcohol will slow down your fitness journey. That's just how it is. BUT, let's try to forget about its' low nutritional value and the fact that it gives you a beer belly.
Because I just read something pretty cool...
It turns out, in a study of more than 18,000 men, Harvard scientists discovered that those who had an average of two drinks every day, 5 to 7 days a week, had the lowest risk of heart attack.
And researchers at the University of Buffalo found that men who consume that same daily amount have lower levels of abdominal fat than those who drink only once or twice every 2 weeks but down more than four drinks each time.
Am I making you happy?
Hope so... Also, if you love your wine, try drinking Pinot Noir. It contains more disease-fighting antioxidants than any other type of alcoholic beverage.
Look for a Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir that's a 2002 to 2004 vintage; those are generally recognized as the top wine-producing years for this finicky grape. In fact, the 2003 Foley won 'best in show' at the San Francisco International Wine Festival
I think I can go to bed now, I feel safe :)
