This Study Proves Why You NEED To Have That Glass Of Wine After Work Tonight

  There’s nothing better than getting home and unwinding after a long day’s work. While you might think you’re breaking all the rules of your healthy eating mission by having a glass of wine, the latest research proves that your sip of sauvignon might be a savvy choice. According to researchers at Harvard Medical School, that buzz you get from your first gulps of wine after your working day is actually a boost to your heart rate – firing up your metabolism. The team behind the study found that the effects of those timely gulps can last for up to an hour after you take your last swig, and even longer if you’re downing a microbrew. If you’re more of a beer drinker – the flavonoids in a brew with hops are seen to show an increase in muscle mass, which will generate the body’s fat burners. So technically, if you’re really not feeling up to the gym, you may as well open that bottle of red. It’s clearly the only next logical step. H/T Women's Health
