Let us take a look at the components that make up Wine. Wine has a compound called Resveratrol. Resveratrol is a polymer found in the skin of the grapes used to make the Wine.

Resveratrol is a powerhouse of Antioxidants. And that is what the key to our answer is, Antioxidants. Antioxidants help in mobilizing fats hence reduces the accumulation of triglycerides in us. Studies have also shown that this antioxidant also transforms harmful ‘White Fat’ into less dangerous ‘Beige Fat.’ Beige Fat is more natural to burn off and hence, easier to lose.

Another small pro of Resveratrol is that it helps suppress the appetite of the user. So less appetite equals less eating, which in turn means less intake of calories and finally less weight gain.

Bonus Information – Resveratrol also protects the skin from free radical damage

Having decided that Wine does have components that can help us burn fat and lose weight. Let us take a look at how it happens.

How does Wine help us Lose weight

Drinking small amounts of alcohol as in Wine improves the blood flow. This means

  • More nutrients are transported.
  • These nutrients also mean more transfer of more Oxygen to the cells.
  • The cells get more Oxygen and thus have more Oxygen available to burn the accumulated fat in the body.

A glass of red also helps to increase the level of adiponectin and free testosterone.

  • These two hormones decrease the level of estrogen in the body
  • Drop in the level of estrogen (which helps in retaining fat) helps in increasing the amount of fat that is burned.
  • Free testosterone also helps in building muscles.
  • Adiponectin and Free Testosterone also decrease serum hormone-binding globulin (SHBG).
  • This prevents free T from acting upon receptors.
  • Hence these two hormones create an anabolic environment in the body. Thus burning fatter and releasing more energy a more anabolic environment increasing metabolism, releasing stored fat.

Final Word

You must be warned, though. Drinking a glass of Wine before sleeping will probably not help you lose a substantial amount of weight.

But nonetheless, don’t lose hope as each drop makes the ocean every ounce of calorie lost helps in your weight loss.
