One lucky contest winner and three friends will attend the Green Bay @ Chicago game on Nov.
17 alongside Biles

MODESTO, Calif., Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — America’s most awarded wine brand, Barefoot, is teaming up with America’s most awarded gymnast (and WAG), Simone Biles. As the Official Wine Sponsor of the NFL, Barefoot is launching a contest offering fans a chance at an exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime experience to watch the Green Bay vs. Chicago rivalry game on November 17 with Biles. One lucky fan and their three friends will get the opportunity to enjoy the NFL ‘WAG’ (wives and girlfriends) gameday experience alongside Biles, from pregame sideline access to watching the game from Barefoot’s ‘BandWAGon Box’ suite. Launched today on Barefoot’s Instagram channel (@barefootwine), the contest is open to all NFL fans – regardless of team allegiance or their knowledge of the sport.

With more than 10,000 accolades, Barefoot is the most awarded wine brand in America, much like the G.O.A.T Simone Biles, who’s widely regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time. As an NFL WAG with personal ties to this long-standing rivalry, Biles is the ideal partner to welcome NFL fans to the game, no matter who they are rooting for or how long they’ve been a fan.

“I understand that learning about football and wine can feel very overwhelming, but as a fan of the NFL and Barefoot Wine, I can speak from experience that you don’t need to know every sequence in the playbook or grape variety to enjoy both,” said Biles. “But trust me, the rivalry between  Chicago and Green Bay is real and the BandWAGon Box experience is going to be a lot of fun!”

This partnership expands Barefoot’s Bandwagon Box program, launched last year to welcome emerging NFL fans to the sport and included a guided tasting with Jen Wall, Barefoot winemaker. “Last year we were so excited to show people how wine, like football, doesn’t have to be complicated and provided our fans with fun food pairings and our winners with a tasting in the suite,” said Jen Wall.  “This year, we’re proud to tout our accomplishments in winemaking alongside one of the most awarded athletes of all time and ensuring our fans know they can find an award-winning wine at a great price point.”   

Beth Orozco, Vice President of Marketing at GALLO added “Barefoot believes that football fandom should be as fun and accessible as choosing your favorite wine. Whether you cheer for Green Bay, Chicago, or switch between the two, being a fan doesn’t need to be complicated and we’re proud to partner with Simone to share that message. Learning about the NFL and Barefoot wine in a truly unique gameday experience will allow us to collectively deepen the connection with fans and show how easy both wine and football can be.”

To enter the contest, fans can visit @barefootwine on Instagram to leave a comment about why they want to win the Barefoot ‘BandWAGon Box’ gameday experience with Simone. Enter between 12:00 a.m. (ET) on October 24, 2024, and 11:59 p.m. (ET) on October 31, 2024. Full contest Rules and Regulations can be found at https://apfco.com/secure/K401R.

(Family Features) La temporada de resfriados y gripe ya está aquí. La mejor manera de combatir la temporada de resfriados y gripe es evitar contraer cualquier enfermedad. Si bien es imposible mantenerse completamente a salvo de los gérmenes, los resfriados y la tos, existen algunos hábitos saludables que puede incorporar para protegerse este año.

Junto con la orientación que reciba de su proveedor de atención médica, considere estas recomendaciones dietéticas y de estilo de vida para apoyar su sistema inmunológico de forma natural.

Comprométete a seguir una dieta más saludable: Es esencial para optimizar su sistema inmunológico, los expertos recomiendan llevar una dieta saludable que consista en más alimentos como frutas, verduras, nueces, semillas, legumbres y cereales integrales. Estos alimentos contienen compuestos a base de plantas que están relacionados con beneficios para la salud del cuerpo. Como ejemplo, tenemos las uvas frescas.

Los compuestos naturales de la uva, incluidos los antioxidantes y otros polifenoles, pueden ayudar a proteger la salud y el funcionamiento de las células. En lo fundamental, las células saludables son la base de una buena salud.

Hacer cambios simples, como elegir uvas frescas de California en lugar de bocadillos procesados ​​o agregar uvas a sus recetas favoritas para darle un impulso saludable, son formas sabrosas de agregar estos compuestos beneficiosos.

Los estudios sugieren que algunos compuestos de la uva pueden influir positivamente en la función inmune, como el resveratrol y ciertos flavonoides. Otros estudios demuestran que agregar uvas que son saludables para el corazón a su dieta diaria puede ayudar a mantener la salud del cerebro, el colon y la piel. Las uvas también son una buena fuente de vitamina K, que puede ayudar a mantener la salud pulmonar. Incorpore a su dieta los beneficios de las uvas para la salud con una receta fácil y práctica como ensalada de col con uvas y coles de Bruselas, perfecta para comer sola o acompañar con su proteína favorita, como la pechuga de pollo asada.

Priorizar la higiene básica: Las prácticas preventivas pueden ayudarle a evitar los gérmenes, protegiéndose a sí mismo y a los demás al mismo tiempo. Lávese las manos frecuentemente con agua y jabón, limite el contacto con otras personas que puedan estar enfermas y cúbrase la nariz y la boca con un pañuelo desechable o con el codo al toser o estornudar.

Mantente activo: La temporada de resfriados y gripe coincide con temperaturas elevadas, lo que a menudo dificulta salir a hacer ejercicio. Encuentre una actividad que disfrute, como caminar de intensidad moderada, trotar, andar en bicicleta o practicar un deporte aeróbico. El “Journal of Sport and Health Science” informa que el ejercicio puede ayudar a mejorar la respuesta inmune y reducir la inflamación, lo que lo convierte en una forma clave de preparar el cuerpo para defenderse.

Hidratar, hidratar, hidratar: Mantenerse hidratado ayuda a su sistema inmunológico al mantener las defensas del cuerpo funcionando correctamente. Además de beber agua, puedes aumentar la hidratación comiendo alimentos con alto contenido de agua como las uvas, que contienen aproximadamente un 82% de agua.

Manejar el estrés: Puedes ayudar a controlar el estrés, que tiene un impacto negativo en la salud y el bienestar general, de varias maneras. Practique respiración profunda o meditación, participe en actividades y pasatiempos que le brinden alegría y desarrolle hábitos nocturnos que promuevan un buen sueño. Si come un bocadillo por la noche, elija alimentos como las uvas, que son una fuente natural de melatonina, un compuesto que ayuda a regular los ciclos del sueño. Hable con alguien en quien confíe, como un amigo, un familiar o un profesional de salud mental, para ayudar a aliviar el estrés.
