The nutritionist pointed out the high calorie content of alcohol

Nutritionist Natalia Pavlyuk said that any alcohol has a devastating effect on the body, and is also a high-calorie product.

In an interview with Radio 1 on Thursday, August 14, she noted that if it is impossible to completely give up alcohol, it is better to exclude strong drinks such as vodka, moonshine and cognac.

According to the expert, sweet liqueurs contain antioxidants due to their grape base, but they also have a very high sugar content. Alcohol is generally high in calories — one gram contains about seven calories, while carbohydrates contain only four, Pavlyuk stressed.

She added that dry wine can be considered less harmful: it has a lower calorie content and has antioxidants.
