Drinking Wine….

Red wine has antioxidant called resveratrol that may help the hearth and ward of cancer. Low doses of resveratrol can aid in weight loss, but before you start carrying a bottle of Night Train to the gym consider the following:

• The key word is “low” doses, typcally one glass. Higher doses have a decidedly different effect.
• Wine gets most of its calories from alcohol, which slows fat loss
• In Addition, alcohol lowers testosterone and stimulate appetite
• Most wines have about 120 calories per serving (5 fluid ounces) and similar nutritional values
• A Merlot may have 6-7 milligrams of sodium per serving, but a typical Cabernet has none.
