Well, we've all read articles that state that red wine is good for one's health but an article in the most recent issue of Wine Spectator (read the article here)really made me smile even more.  It's healthy, sure....but does it actually help regulate your weight??  For women, apparently so!

Their article specifically states that women who drink wine (3-4 4oz glasses a day) gained less weight than women that did not drink at all during a study done over 13 years involving over 19,000 women!  Apparently, our bodies "process alcohol differently than other caloric sources."

So, is this a green light for more red??? 

Well, of course, this doesn't mean you should forgo the exercise and eat bon-bon's everyday with half a bottle of wine!  No, probably not the best idea.  BUT....you certainly can take the time to enjoy a glass or two without fear that it's all going to your hips!!

Cheers,
