A recent study found that a
glass of red wine is the equivalent to an hour at the gym. Also,
drinking red wine could help burn fat, says another study.
The health benefits of red wine have been well documented. Studies
have revealed that those who drink a glass of red wine a day are
less likely to develop dementia or cancer, that it is good for
your heart, it is anti-aging and can regulate blood sugar.
Research conducted by the University of Alberta in Canada has
found that health benefits in resveratrol, a compound found in red
wine, are similar to those we get from exercise. Resveratrol was
seen to improve physical performance, heart function and muscle
strength in the same way as they are improved after a gym session.
Other sources of resveratrol are blueberries, peanut butter, red
grapes, and dark chocolate.
