We've all been told that the secret to weight loss is to cut out alcohol from your diet. Take Alexis Ren's diet, for example. She replaces alcohol with two liters of water every day. However, recent studies show that a daily glass of red wine might actually be the solution to weight loss.
So, how does it work?
There's a science behind this wonderful weight loss solution. Red wine has always been thought to be heart healthy, and has even been said to be the secret to flawless skin and hair, but can it be a diet hack too?
The secret is a compound found in red wine called resveratrol.
It helps convert "white fat" into "beige fat," which is easier for our
bodies to burn. But don't give up on your gym membership yet, any diet
plan should be paired with exercise for the best results.
For
those who love sipping on that vino, this is music to your ears.
However, if wine isn't for you, there are plenty of ways to increase
your resveratrol intake. The truth is, a lot of the important
micronutrients get filtered out when wine is made, so the true
resveratrol jack pot is in fruit.
Red wine gets its strong source
of resveratrol from grapes. Fruits like blueberries, strawberries and
grapes are all natural sources of resveratrol and will still satisfy
your sweet tooth!
Of course, it's always important to keep a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Unfortunately, we can't forget the fact that wine has calories and we have to exercise
to burn them off. On the plus side, drinking red wine in moderation will
help keep your metabolism functioning properly and even prevent
obesity. Cheers to resveratrol!
