New research reveals skipping the gym in favour of the pub might not be so bad

Love a good glass of vino but hate hitting the gym to work it off? This news will make your day.

UPDATE: Drinking red wine could help burn fat, says new study

Research conducted by the University of Alberta in Canada has found that health benefits in resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, are similar to those we get from exercise.

Red wine over a heavy session on the cross-trainer? Now that's something we can definitely get onboard with.


According to lead researcher, Jason Dyck, these findings will particularly help those who are unable to exercise. Resveratrol was seen to improve physical performance, heart function and muscle strength in the same way as they're improved after a gym session.

"I think resveratrol could help patient populations who want to exercise but are physically incapable," he says.


"Resveratrol could mimic exercise for them or improve the benefits of the modest amount of exercise that they can do."

Discussion over the health benefits of red wine have been well documented. Studies have revealed that those who drink a glass of red wine a day are less likely to develop dementia or cancer, that it's good for your heart, anti-ageing and can regulate blood sugar.

And now there's research backing that fact that it boosts heart rate? This is literally the best thing ever.

Though, let's be straight here - this is all in moderation, it only applies to red wine and the university's study was carried out on rats, not humans.

Still, if you want to up your intake of resveratrol? Try blueberries, peanut butter, red grapes and dark chocolate. Remember, a balanced diet is everything.

 Don't know if I buy that, probably not. I play hockey two nites a week. I have my fair share of beer(I don't drink wine) including a couple after most games. At 58 I'm healthier then most guys my age. I never get sick and when I do it doesn't last long. Usually good after a day. I take zero meds. Nothing beats exersize. Even if it's just a daily walk.
