DRINK UP, GET THIN

YES - you are reading correctly! This is an article from "Muscle & Fitness hers" magazine.

"Scientists have known for some time that moderate alcohol consumption (defined as 1-2 drinks per day) is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease. For women, tipping the wine glass may help you stay slim, as well. Researchers from Boston studied 9220 normal weight women over a 13-year period. Those who consumed the equivalent of 1-2 drinks a day were 30% less likely to gain weight compared to nondrinkers. These results are likely due to the fact that women who drink often eat less.

DRINK THIS: One to two glasses of wine a day will not only help in your fight against fat but could also reduce your risk of heart disease."
