Drinking a glass of wine before going to bed helps you sleep
Drinking wine before bedtime has been widely practiced since ancient times as a way to induce sleep. Studies have shown that small amounts of alcohol can depress the brain nerves and make people drowsy. So, are you still worried about insomnia? How about a glass of wine every day before you go to bed?
Red wine is a drink made from grapes as the main raw material for fermentation.
It has a mellow, fruity flavor. In addition to vitamins, sugar, protein, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium, sodium and other essential nutrients and minerals, it also contains melatonin, a sleep-assisting hormone. The small amount of alcohol in red wine can help you sleep and slowly raise your body temperature so that people with slow nighttime metabolism can also participate in fat burning metabolism. The grape polyphenols in wine can also relieve stress and effectively inhibit stressful overeating.
In addition to the sleep-friendly components of wine, drinking the right amount of wine when you are extremely tired and depressed can also help you relax and regulate your mood. From the perspective of wine’s soothing effect, it can also help people who suffer from nighttime insomnia to fall asleep as soon as possible. Therefore, people who suffer from insomnia at night can drink a moderate amount of wine to help them fall asleep.
However, alcohol has a double effect on the brain’s nervous system. Excessive consumption can stimulate the brain, often making people toss and turn. Large amounts of alcohol need to be digested by the liver. If you go to bed immediately, your body’s metabolism will be slow, which is very harmful to the liver. Therefore, it is generally more appropriate to drink 50ml of wine before bedtime each day. Don’t be greedy.
Drinking wine in the afternoon is the most beneficial
Generally speaking, the best time to drink wine is after 2:00 p.m. every day, when it is safer to drink. Since the concentration of enzymes that break down alcohol in the stomach is lower in the morning, it is more likely to be absorbed by the body when drinking, so an increase in the concentration of alcohol in the blood can cause great damage to the body’s organs. In addition, you should not drink alcohol, especially liquor, when you are fasting, have a cold or feel excited to avoid cardiovascular damage.
In addition to drinking a moderate amount of wine after 2 p.m., you can also drink it 1-2 hours before going to bed at night. In the evening, a small glass of wine with one or two pieces of cheese can increase the metabolic rate and help the body burn fat. Generally speaking, the body can lose 3.5kg after 3 weeks, because cheese contains protein and lipids, and wine contains alcohol, both of which have a thermogenic effect. When sleeping, the body metabolism is slow, the body temperature is low. Eat cheese and drink wine can gradually increase body temperature, accelerate metabolism, consumption of body fat, to achieve the effect of weight loss.
