Alcohol and Metabolism

Alcohol and Metabolism
After falling in love, yes with my beautiful reds...Merlot, Cabernet, Shiraz, Pinot.

Remember to enjoy the treats of life in moderation and that red wines have that cool, healthy ingredient, resveratrol.

Resveratrol does have many health benefits even possibly assisting in weight loss.

Here's the facts about alcohol and metabolism.

A 5oz. glass of wine has 150 calories. 
People tend to eat 20% more food while drinking alcohol. 
When alcohol breaks down, it turns into Acetate; therefore your body burns that before fat or sugar. 
Alcohol prevents proper processing of vitamins & minerals which is necessary for metabolism. 
Alcohol lowers blood sugar levels and dehydration, which leads to an increase in appetite.

With any weight management program, the facts should be considered.

Benefits of resveratrol. There are now over 2,000 studies supporting the benefits which may include more energy, reversing or slowing the aging process, prevention of cancer, weight loss and many more. Extensive research is still being done to see the health applications that exist.

I personally found an all-natural reseveratrol product which is equivalent to drinking 3,000 glasses of red wine per month without any of the negative side effects mentioned about.
