Water and Alcohol

Water  is  the primary transporter of nutrients throughout the body and helps maintain core body temperature.

Beer is well known as a common cause of the ‘beer belly syndrome’ we hear so much about. However, recent studies have shown that alcohol in the form of wine and spirits make a significant contribution in the form of additional (and often overlooked) calories/kilojoules.

According to a recent study, alcohol accounts for up to 10% of the daily total calorie intake for many regular drinkers.  A person consuming a 6-pack of beer per day contributes 900 calories per day or between 60-80% of the recommended calorie intake on a weight reducing program.
