The hidden health benefits of gin
Gin has surprising health benefits when drank responsibly. It becomes a favourite for many people who care about their wellness when paired with a healthy lifestyle.
● Low in calories
One of the best things about gin is that it has few calories. Compared to other drinks like sugary cocktails and beers, a standard serving of gin helps you stay on track with your diet while still enjoying a drink.
● Packed with antioxidants
Gin has botanicals like juniper berries that give it flavour and also provide antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight inflammation and keep you healthy. So, gin is not just a drink—it's good for your body, too.
● Aiding digestion
Botanicals such as coriander and angelica root in gin aren’t just for taste; they also help with digestion. Drinking a gin cocktail after a meal might help soothe your stomach.

Gin nutrition facts: What you need to know
Knowing what’s in gin can help you make better choices. Here’s an easy look at gin’s main nutrition facts:
● Calories: About 70 calories per ounce. That's all! Low-calorie gin is a great choice for a drink without too many calories.
● Carbohydrates: 0 grams. Perfect for people on keto or low-carb diets.
● Sugar: None. No hidden sugars to mess up your diet.

Gin is great for low-carb and keto diets because it has no carbs. Whether you make a martini or a gin and tonic, you can enjoy your drink without worrying about carbs. Low-calorie gin lets you have a drink while sticking to your diet.
● Moderation is important
Even though gin has few calories, it's important to drink it in moderation. Drinking too much can still add extra calories, especially with high-calorie mixers. Enjoy your drinks, but don't overdo it.
