A glass of wine the size of a gym watch

Worshipers of red wine, new research now say a glass of red wine is equivalent to an hour spent in the gym as regards burning calories.

Research conducted by Alberta University, Canada, has concluded that red wine contains a component called resveratol, which is the same as what your body produces when exercise.

What's resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a component that is present in the skin of blueberries, nuts, and other products. It is known as an effective antioxidant, which most trees produce to protect themselves from environmental dangers.

The skin of the red grapes has a high composition of the resveratrol, which keeps fungi and sun damage away. While red wine is known to contain more than red wine, about 1 to 2mg per 200 grams.

How does resveratrol help to lose weight?

Those who consume a glass of wine a day are less likely to gain weight, since the resveratrol can prevent the growth of body fat cells, which keeps the body in check.

The human body uses the resveratrol to create a component called the picecanol, which indirectly helps prevent the growth of fat cells.
