The True Power Lunch

Eating a nutrient-balanced lunch can do more for your P.M. energy than just a high-carb or high-protein one can. Remember, when we get a balance of nutrients and keep it to about one serving of each (carb plus protein plus healthy fat) plus unlimited vegetables, the body gets three power hours. For extra energy, take a B vitamin complex or your multivitamin/mineral supplement with your lunch. It will optimize the metabolism of your food for energy.

Allocate Your Alcohol

You can still have your wine and drink it, too. But be mindful of how much you are consuming. A drink while you cook, then another glass or two at dinner can amount to too much. It will disrupt your sleep cycles and potentially disturb your digestion as well. For most women, one five-ounce glass is plenty. Savor it with your meal and drink sparkling water with a wedge of lemon or orange while you cook.

Is white wine as good as red? There’s been a lot of media frenzy over red wine’s super-antioxidant resveratrol, but what about whites? According to Drs. Dipak Das and Alberto Bertelli of Connecticut and Milan respectively, white wine derives its cardio-boosting effects from two antioxidants—tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol—which are also found in olive oil. Interestingly, these antioxidants, such as resveratrol, trigger a gene that may slow aging, and have benefits for diabetes prevention and kidney function. So go on, love your whites as much as your reds. If you’re like Kim Basinger, you’ll take white wine and cut it with sparkling water. To really reduce the amount of sugar (and calories) you’re consuming, opt for a dirty martini. Stay away from soda and fruity or creamy drinks. And when you do indulge, count your drink like it’s a dessert instead of just a beverage.
