According to recent news, a lot of women have taken up drinking
wine as a result of the pandemic, (Co-Vid-19).

A glass (maybe two) of wine is okay, but if you’re overdoing it,
and it’s causing you problems, you may want to stop right now,
but if you’re able to enjoy a glass and only a glass every evening,
you may want to continue doing it long after this pandemic is over.

Why?
Wine can help you get slim and stay slim more easily and
effectively than any hours long exercise program or strict diet.

Still not convinced?
Listed below, are some of the health benefits you can
get from that nightly glass of Merlot.

a) Blocks Fat Cells-
Compounds in red wines dramatically slow the growth of
existing fat cells and help block the formation of new ones.

b) Boosts Metabolism,
Women, especially those over 40 are always seeking ways to
improve their metabolism, and wine is a great way to turn back
the clock on your metabolism.
It (wine) warms your cheeks, and that warmth is actually your
metabolism warming up throughout your whole body,
burning up calories, before they can turn to fat on your body.

c) Thinner Than Teetotalers-
Doctors studied women who had wine each night and
those who abstained, their findings: The women
who had a glass (or two) each night were thinner.
A nightly glass of wine reduces your obesity risk by
15%.

d) Look to Italian and French Women-
Many women (and men) stress eat. Eating mindlessly
at all hours out of boredom, stress, peer pressure, etc.
And 2 doctors who studied both American and foreign
women diet habits, noticed something very different,
what was it?
Women in Italy and France, usually sat down with family
and friends, ate slowly, had long conversations and
truly savored their meals and wine.
And in the U.S. the women usually ate quickly, sometimes
in front of the television or computers, rarely conversed
with their spouse or kids and drank their wine after the meal
(usually alone).
So, the moral of this story is…copy what your French and
Italian sisters are doing, and you too, can enjoy your meal
with wine and become slimmer in the process.
The doctors say that wine with a meal, makes it (the meal
feel more special, and helps you slow down and feel more
satisfied. Satisfied enough, you won’t go back an hour
later looking for “something to snack on.”

e) Higher Energy Levels-
Wine contains special nutrients that help
increase energy levels, and lowers stress levels.

f) Block Out The Sugar-
Antioxidants in wine inhibit enzymes in the intestine
that allow sugar to be absorbed, and the less sugar
you absorb, the less insulin (belly-fattening hormone)
you’ll produce.

g) Pair Wine With This Diet-
Many women who successfully lost weight using the
wine Rx, say that they were able to lose weight and keep it
off following the Mediterranean diet.
Not sure what the Mediterranean is?
Head to Youtube.com and type Mediterranean diet in the
search bar and look for information and recipes.
