The desire to stay in shape can make you move mountains, not literally, but the efforts most of us put in are no less than that! However, it becomes pretty challenging to take out time from our busy lives and hectic schedules to workout. No wonder, this is what makes us look for some quick and easy solutions to shed those extra kilos, unfortunately those quick hacks and treatments aren’t that effective, when it comes to a sustainable way of weight management.


But what if we tell you that now you can indulge in your favourite glass of wine and still lose weight, trust us we aren’t bluffing! As per a recent study published in the journal of The Drinks Business conducted by the Washington State University, it was established that drinking around 2 glasses of wine before bed helps in a healthy weight management. It was observed that the presence of resveratrol, a polyphenol found in red wine, helps in changing the white fat into the easily burnable brown fat.

As per another study at Harvard, it was found that there is a link between wine and weight loss. Wherein, the researchers conducted a research with around 20,000 women over 13 years and saw that those who drank two glasses of wine daily were 70% less likely to be overweight.

It might sound fascinating for some, but drinking wine before bed is not only great for a healthy weight loss, but at the same time helps in inducing sleep and is great for a healthy skin. According to another research, conducted in 2012 on bees, it was found that a compound resveratrol helped in curbing appetite. This further helps in curbing the urge of midnight-snacking.

In a nutshell, it can be seen that drinking two glasses of wine at night can help in a healthy sleep and curbs appetite, which eventually helps in a healthy and sustainable way of weight management. However, during the process of wine making, many beneficial insoluble polyphenols get filtered. Hence, to get the remaining nutrition, experts suggest to include grapes, blueberries and other exotic berries in the daily diet.
