For a long time, the saying that drinking red wine can lose weight has been circulating on the Internet. The specific method is also very simple: drink a glass of 50ml of red wine before going to bed every day. I believe many MM who love beauty have tried it? But recently, little, the head teacher of Netease Women's Weight Loss Class, read an article in a well-known newspaper, pointing out that drinking red wine also has an obesity crisis, on the grounds that red wine has higher calories. So, is drinking red wine to gain weight or lose weight? For these two diametrically opposite views, MM will definitely be a little dizzy! To this end, Little collected relevant information and consulted relevant experts. The reasons for thinking that red wine can lose weight are as follows: a. Improve metabolism: Vitamins C, E and carotene contained in red wine have antioxidant capacity, which can improve the metabolism that originally decreased with age. B. Slow down the speed of eating: get into the habit of eating red wine while giving yourself a comfortable and ample time to enjoy eating, which can stimulate the satiety center of the brain in advance, so as not to overeat. C. Avoid overeating and overeating: Of course, the alcohol concentration in the blood will gradually increase, which will also have an effect on relieving stress, so it can also inhibit stress overeating. D. Reduce edema in the body: red wine is rich in iron, and alcohol itself has the function of promoting blood circulation and warming the body, so it can improve anemia, warm the waist and kidney, and effectively reduce the accumulation of water in the body. People with edema are especially suitable for this red wine slimming method, which is both beautiful and slim. There is only one reason that red wine will gain weight: red wine is relatively high in calories. Wine is made from grains or fruits by yeast fermentation. The higher the alcohol content, the formula for calculating the calories you consume after drinking each time is-alcohol content (ml) × alcohol concentration × 7 = calories contained. It turns out that a cup of 250 ml red wine or beer has the same calorie as a bowl of white rice, about 240 calories. ■ Next, let's listen to the analysis of experts! Instructor: Wang Jue, director of china health care association Marketing Committee, asked: Does drinking red wine really lead to obesity? A: If you drink pure red wine, you don't have to worry about getting fat at all. Because pure red wine contains relatively low calories, there is no direct relationship between a small amount of drinking and obesity. Some people lose weight with red wine and gain weight. One possible reason is that the wine they drink is blended. Some red wines on the market now are not real wines, but are blended with a variety of raw materials. These raw materials usually contain sugar and additives, so the calories will naturally be higher and it is easy to get fat. Q: Whether a food gains weight or loses weight depends only on calories. A: Diet control is the most important way to lose weight, and low-calorie food really helps to lose weight. But at the same time, food has a "heat energy effect", which means that digesting food also needs to consume calories. Generally speaking, protein has the highest thermal energy effect, followed by carbohydrates and fat. Whether food is fattening or slimming depends on the ratio of carbohydrate, protein and fat, and the balance of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. It has been proved that lack of one or more vitamins and minerals can also lead to obesity. You must pay attention to health when losing weight. Q: So, can you really lose weight by drinking red wine? A: Moderate drinking of pure red wine (dry red wine) is really good for the human body. The drinking dose should not exceed 100ml, and some experts suggest that it should not exceed 200ml. Theoretically, if you drink red wine before going to bed at night according to the intake of normal people, it will not help you lose weight. Red wine diet is popular in Taiwan Province Province, where there are more people who are particularly fat. If you want to lose weight, you must rely on diet control, exercise regulation and so on.
