Here are four reasons why wine can help you slim. Read on before you mock!
- If you love a glass or two of wine it probably makes you feel good. Feeling good is fundamental to feeling positive and in control. If you want to look good, you need to start feeling good about yourself.
- Women over 30 were asked about their wine drinking habits and their weight gain. Four in ten, who said they were tea-total, gained the most inches, the Archives of Internal Medicine reports.
- The fewest inches were gained by those who drank 'moderate' amounts - perhaps a glass or two of wine a day.
- There is a theory that in regular
drinkers the liver develops a separate method of breaking down alcohol,
with surplus energy turned mainly into heat, rather than fat. So drinking a small glass of red wine (120 calories),
most will be burnt off. However, if they come from a slice of pizza, more may be turned into fat. I like this theory.
Clearly, too much alcohol - wine or not - provides too many calories, but for me, wine is a luxury that makes life feel better - and after a hard day's work it feels real good!
