A glass of red wine before going to bed can really lose weight?
Drinking a little red wine before going to bed is really good for our health. For example, red wine has an antioxidant effect, moderate consumption can also protect our cardiovascular system. But this does not mean that red wine has a magical effect of weight loss.
Red wine is a fruit wine made from grapes through natural fermentation. The main components of red wine are water, alcohol, acid, sugar and glycerin. The sugar in red wine usually comes from underfermented berries. Sweet wines contain up to 80 grams of sugar per liter. Glycerol is a by-product of the alcohol fermentation process. Alcohol, sugar and glycerol are the main sources of heat in red wines.
One glass of red wine (150 ml) has about 120-150 calories, which is almost equivalent to a 330 ml can of Coke. A glass of wine a day for a month can burn 3600-4500 calories, which is almost equivalent to 1-1.5 kg of fat. No matter how healthy red wine is, maybe you can only become a healthy fat person.
Don’t drink too much alcohol when losing weight
The calorie content of alcohol is very high, 7 calories per gram of alcohol, and the content of other nutrients in alcohol is almost zero, but the calorie content is very high.
In addition, frequent drinkers of excessive amounts of wine usually have a higher chance of developing fatty liver than non-drinkers because alcohol and fatty acids are metabolized by the liver, and excessive drinking inhibits the breakdown of fatty acids. As a result, excessive drinking, overloading of the liver and more fat accumulate in the liver. Long-term excessive drinking is likely to cause alcoholic fatty liver.
To lose weight, the most basic is exercise and healthy eating habits. Blindly listening to these unrealistic rumors on the Internet may cause harm to our bodies.
