Wine Vs. Treadmill

Okay, this might just be the best article I have ever read.  Some scientists had the truly brilliant idea to do a study to determine if having a glass of wine yields the same positive fitness benefits as working out for an hour.  I imagine they came up with that hypothesis after a couple of glasses of wine.  Well, it turns out, drinking a glass of wine is equal to working out for one hour!  They found that resveratrol, a compound in red wine, improves heart function, muscle strength, and physical performance in the same way as exercise does.  This is great news for anyone who comes home after a long day of work and can't decide if she should go to the gym or open a bottle of red.  That has always been a difficult dilemma, but now they are both equally good options!

The article says that this is especially good news for people who are physically incapable of working out.  Now, they can have a glass of red wine and reap the same benefits as an hour long workout!  Which is good, because most people are physically incapable of working out after a few drinks, so it is good to know that a glass of wine at that point is the perfect remedy.

Cheers!
