Just a glass of these could help you shift some pounds - amazing
Drinking a glass of wine could help to encourage weight loss - don't worry ladies you haven't read wrong.
This has to be some of the best news we've received this year.
The new study suggests that wine can stop you from gaining weight and may even help you to lose a few pounds. Bonus.
Also, those who drink wine are 30 per cent less likely to develop diabetes. The good news just keeps on coming.
Their analysis of previous research shows that although heavy drinkers are likely to put on weight, those who just enjoy an occasional tipple are unlikely to pile on the pounds.
"Light-to-moderate alcohol intake, especially wine intake, may be more likely to protect against weight gain, whereas comsumption of spirits has been positively associated with weight gain," say researchers from the Navarro University in Spain.
More research is expected to follow, to see what role alcohol plays on people's diet.
"While it is common for individuals, especially women, to state that they avoid all alcohol concumption because they do not want to gain weight, data is very limited on this subject," say experts.
With this new research, it seems there is no reason to deny yourself that glass of wine when you get home this evening. Enjoy.
