A new study revealed that drinking red wine might help keep a woman’s weight in check. The study involved 20,000 “trim” women, and “over time, women who drank alcohol in moderation put on less weight and were less apt to become overweight compared to non-drinkers,” reports Megan Brooks from Reuters. Other alcohols such as white wine, beer and spirits also helped at keeping the women in shape; however, red wine proved to be the most beneficial.
One of the reasons alcohol may help women stay in shape is that when women are drinking more, they are eating less. This is the first study to look at the connection between alcohol and weight, but many prior studies have “suggested that moderate drinking — usually defined as a drink or two a day — can be a healthy habit, particularly with regard to heart health,” states Brooks.
