Many people believe that you cannot drink even a drop of alcohol while losing weight. But that’s not so. “But you can’t drink, you’ll lose weight and stay healthy.” You certainly can! Wine is not only full of antioxidants (which are healthy!), but it can also actually help your weight loss goals. Science says so!
Resveratrol in wine may help with weight loss
According to researchers’ studies, there is a chemical in wine called resveratrol that can prevent your body’s fat cells from gaining more fat. Resveratrol has been shown to turn white fat into “beige fat”, which is much easier to burn and less likely to accumulate in your body. Resveratrol can also reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes and cancer and slow aging.
Another study by researchers at a Danish university supports these findings after discovering that people who drink wine daily tend to have a slimmer waist than those who don’t. The study also found that wine can suppress your appetite and help you avoid cravings for sweets and overeating.
