As the year draws to a close, wine can be the perfect companion for cherished moments with family, friends, or someone special.

The Mirror recently reported that timing is important for having wine.

Our bodies operate on a 24-hour circadian rhythm, orchestrating everything from sleep patterns to digestion. This natural cycle causes our metabolic rate – how quickly we burn energy – to fluctuate throughout the day. In other words, there are optimal times when our bodies are primed to process food and drink more effectively.

Alcohol, unlike proteins or carbs, takes a unique metabolic path in our bodies. The time you choose to sip that glass of wine can influence how your body burns those wine calories.

Experts suggest the ideal time to drink wine is between 4 PM and 7 PM. During this window, your metabolism is firing on all cylinders, making it easier for your body to process alcohol efficiently and reducing the chances of those wine calories turning into unwanted fat.

But drinking wine after dinner or right before bed is not the best idea. It can mess with your sleep and put the brakes on fat burning. Alcohol is particularly disruptive when it comes to REM sleep – that crucial deep sleep stage we all need.

If you skimp on REM sleep, your cortisol levels might creep up, potentially leading to more fat storage around your midsection.

Nutrition gurus stress the importance of balance and moderation. Pair your wine with lean proteins and good fats to stabilize your blood sugar.

The exciting news is that you can see a noticeable difference by aligning wine time with your body’s natural rhythms. This is a win-win situation: you can enjoy your favorite wine without derailing your health or fitness goals.
