A Canadian research has found a compound in red wine that has the same effect after drinking a glass of the drink as an hour of working out in the gym.
A summary of the research was published on the My Daily website, according to which Drinking 1 glass of red wine has the same beneficial effect as 1 hour of gym training. It is based on a special compound, resveratrol, also found in grape skins, which American scientists have studied for almost ten years, yet they have not discovered any positive effects.
Now the Canadians have succeeded, because when this compound entered the body in the amount that a glass of average red wine contains, several positive physiological effects can be observed volt.
Such an increase in physical performance and muscle strength, as well as an improvement in heart function. What is interesting is that they noticed in the research that these three physiological effects are exactly the same as the after-effects of an hour of gym training. Of course, you can’t regularly induce training in this way, but a glass of red wine comes in handy to make up for a missed opportunityas well as the consumption of grapes, dark chocolate, cocoa and hazelnuts, as these also contain resveratrol.
By the way, those who drink wine also seem more attractive to others, according to scientists. Of course, it doesn’t matter how much.
Many people have already investigated and experienced that after consuming a certain amount of alcohol, we find others more attractive than when we are sober. But how much do we need to drink to make others think we are more attractive?
According to a research conducted by Australian and British experts, after drinking a glass or two of wine, we will be more attractive to others than sober or after drinking even more alcohol.
They found this out with a very simple test: they photographed people sober and after drinking 2.5 deciliters and half a liter of wine. These pictures were shown to others, who rated the people of the opposite gender in the photo on how attractive they were to them. It turned out that people who were sober and drank half a liter of wine were equally attractive to members of the opposite sex, on the other hand, those photographed after drinking 2.5 deciliters of wine received better evaluations on average.
According to scientists, the reason behind this phenomenon is that at the beginning of wine consumption, the blood vessels dilate and the blood flow in the face increaseswhich results in a more attractive face than average, but this effect is no longer valid if you continue to drink wine.
