American scientists have proposed to not too active ladies new method of weight loss. It turns out that excessive weight can be reduced by drinking one or two glass of wine every day.

Scientists noted that women who drink every day one or two servings of alcohol, 30% less likely to gain excess weight than non-drinkers.

Physicians Women's Hospital in Boston asked more than 19,200 American women aged 39 and over with a body mass index in the normal range. The questions concerned their drinking habits and the dynamics of body weight in the last 13 years.

Of course, on average, all women suffer from the tendency of growth of body weight with age. But ladies, who abstained from alcohol, gained weight more - the survey showed.

Researchers explain this by the nature of alcohol metabolism in the female body. Women who regularly consume small to medium amounts of alcohol are reducing the need for other sources of energy - especially the need for carbohydrates.

On the other hand, alcohol consumption increases the consumption of energy, and for the processing of alcohol it takes more than that comes from high-calorie ingredients alcohol.

In fact, the action of these two factors, physicians and credited dietary effect of alcohol.

Scientists also think that the explanation is more simple. All people, especially women tend in some way to de-stress. If we disregard the anti-depressants and other specialized products, then our main "medicine for the soul" - food and alcohol. Non-drinkers certainly need more delicious cakes to "treat trauma", but "one hundred grams" may very well replace a couple of rolls. That's a trend of weight loss drink.

In turn, such research is not in any way can be regarded as a reasonable call for alcohol. The theme of alcohol disadvantage and benefit comes from ancient times, but no one can say for sure that even moderate alcohol consumption necessarily bring a positive effect to the body.

For example, according to some sources, in the long term "moderate drinking" reduces the risk of cardio-vascular disease. But opponents point to alcohol in parallel increased risk of breast cancer, liver and other organs.

In addition, there are other methods of weight loss.
