Drinking a glass of wine could help to encourage weight loss - don't worry ladies you haven't read wrong. This has to be some of the best news we've received this year. The new study suggests that wine can stop you from gaining weight and may even help you to lose a few pounds. Bonus.
Also, those who drink wine are 30 per cent less likely to develop diabetes. The good news just keeps on coming. Their analysis of previous research shows that although heavy drinkers are likely to put on weight, those who just enjoy an occasional tipple are unlikely to pile on the pounds. "Light-to-moderate alcohol intake, especially wine intake, may be more likely to protect against weight gain, whereas comsumption of spirits has been positively associated with weight gain," say researchers from the Navarro University in Spain.
More research is expected to follow, to see what role alcohol plays on people's diet. "While it is common for individuals, especially women, to state that they avoid all alcohol concumption because they do not want to gain weight, data is very limited on this subject," say experts. With this new research, it seems there is no reason to deny yourself that glass of wine when you get home this evening. Enjoy.
I do somewhat disagree .
ReplyDeleteI know a small glass of wine is good for the heart and digestive system.
I am diabetic as is a lot of my family , they also suffers from heart disease.
Chronic illness is mostly genetic and runs in families.
For any weight lost you have to work at it , choose your foods carefully and plan a good work-out regimen and stick to it.
It will also help to have a small snack before lunch / dinner and drink plenty of water which is also good for your skin.
It's your body so handle with care.
