Fit4brain.com, an online edition of Fitness for the Brain, told about an unusual study, the results of which will literally appeal to many people.
This is a study carried out by the University of Alberta (Canada). Scientists who have investigated the effects of wine on humans have proven that a glass of red wine is as effective as an hour at the gym.
All the “fault” is resveratrol, which is contained in wine. It has anti-inflammatory, blood sugar lowering, anti-tumor, and cardioprotective effects. Researchers have identified other positive qualities of this substance. But most importantly, resveratrol is able to give the body the kind of vigor that can be compared to vigor after an hour of vigorous exercise.
The head of the study, Jason Dyke, is confident that now people who, for whatever reason, could not go to the gym, will be able to rely on this information and, with the help of a glass of wine, strengthen the heart, make muscles stronger, increasing the number of heart contractions.
However, the most important thing is not to exceed the healthy norm – it is equal to one glass of wine, no more.
Recall that earlier we told how long open wine can be stored, and also advised how to properly combine wine and food.
