We’ve all heard about how red wine may help with heart health and how it helps us to relax at the end of a long work day. With a more recent study, we have also heard how more than three glasses of wine per week can put women at higher risk for breast cancer. So, what we must really feel about alcohol and red wine?
Well, a study published in cell metabolism of November 2011, show that a small study of 11 men who got a beefy 150 milligrams per day of Resveratrol (ResVida) in the study of random, double-blind crossover for metabolic Changes 30 days show mimics the effects of calorie restriction.
Basically, they saw a mild increase in blood pressure, increase in fat Mobilization and triglycerides, decreased levels of liver function tests along with markers of inflammation and improves utilization of post-meal and sugar metabolism of fatty tissue.
Limitation of this study is that the sample size is small. Additional studies with larger sample sizes should be done to further describe the definitive resveratrol benefits. But with such early study results, it may very well mark a relatively benign option for Obese Patients as far as finding a healthy choice for adjunctive helps weight loss.
It’s not proper to think to get a resveratrol in wine for patients seeking support to lose weight. Calorie content in wine will not help and the study is based on the resveratrol supplements. Also, alcohol can alter a person’s level of assessment for food intake and will increase the likelihood of people who eat more and consume more calories; above and beyond the mere increase of alcohol calories.
