Experts say that drinking a glass of wine during certain hours helps regulate your metabolism and align it with your natural biological rhythm. The consumed alcohol not only avoids being stored as fat but also aids in burning existing fat, reports Strona Zdrovia.
According to experts, drinking a glass of red or white wine at a specific time of day may help you burn fat and lose weight.
Our bodies operate according to a circadian rhythm - a 24-hour cycle that regulates various bodily functions, from sleep to digestion. Studies show that metabolic rate changes throughout the day, and there are times when the body processes food and drinks more efficiently.
Unlike nutrients such as proteins or carbohydrates, alcohol is metabolized differently, and the timing of its consumption can affect how your body burns calories.
Specialists recommend drinking wine during the day, between 4:00 PM and 7:00 PM. During these hours, your metabolism is at its peak and can process alcohol efficiently, reducing the risk of it being stored as fat.
Do you often drink wine or other alcoholic beverages late in the evening after dinner or just before bed? This can disrupt sleep and slow down fat-burning processes. Alcohol interferes with the REM sleep phase, during which the body regenerates, repairs muscles, slows metabolism and regulates hormone levels.
Disruption of this sleep phase leads to increased levels of cortisol, the stress hormone. Elevated cortisol levels contribute to greater fat storage, especially in the abdominal area - commonly referred to as "stress belly" or "cortisol belly." You can prevent it by enjoying your glass of wine earlier in the day.
It's also important to pair wine with meals containing lean proteins and healthy fats to minimize its impact on blood sugar levels.
Aligning your wine consumption with your body's natural rhythm can lead to noticeable changes. This simple lifestyle adjustment allows you to enjoy wine without compromising your health or figure, experts conclude.
