Moderate Alcohol Drinking may Reduce Obesity Risk

Moderate Drinking Only

Although not recommended as a weight lose tactic, a drink a day may lower your risk of becoming obese. According to researchers at the Mayo clinic if you consume 5 drinks a week you were 38% less likely to be obese, compared to non-drinkers.

But don’t drink to much because excessive drinking increased your risk of becoming obese or overweight. The team led by James E. Rohrer Ph.D. found that drinkers that consumed four or more alcoholic beverages per day were more likely to be obese than those that did not drink.

The study compared the rate of obesity in 8,236 non-smoking participants. The study used data from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics between 1988 and 1994. They correlated the body mass index and drinking history.

If I had known it might prevent my weight gain, I would have imbibed far more often. lol. Actually it is well known that having a glass of red wine everyday can be beneficial to your health. That it can affect weight is just a bonus.

I lost weight one time. I got drunk every night. I guess that prevented me from eating. My wife tells me that tequila has a Chemical that helps you lose weight .

Do those tasty Smirnoff Black Cherry drinks count?

[Jaded]

OMG I love those!

[Fringe]

clue me in. What'd I miss? Sounds yummy.

I drink the Ice once in a while.

They are called "Smirnoff Twisted" and are bottled like wine coolers. There are lots of fruity flavors. I like the Blackberry. Hubby loves the watermelon. Our friend mixes several and calls it Fruity Pebbles. lol.

You have to be careful with these. 5% alcohol and you can't really taste any.

I used to love the green apple. I got real burned out real fast because of how sweet they are. After a few times I could only drink the cranberry. That's why I switched to ICE. It's kind of like lemonade.

I thought you guys were talking about some kind of black cherry shots or something.

Diet Bright, Diet Might, the Only Diet that is Right!

Which of all the diets that we see is the brightest and mightiest of them all? With so many to choose from and so many plans that involve complicated preparations, combinations, and measurements, how can we determine which is best for us?

There is one simple answer, and that is to look at the diet that was originally intended for us from the beginning. It's the one that comes from Mother Nature. Study after study indicates that the majority of our sickness, illness, and disease all come from a deficiency in proper nutrition. That means a deficiency in the nutrients that our bodies were intended to consume.

In Mother Nature, plant life has thousands of phytonutrients which, together, provide the fuel to properly run the more than 2,000 physiological processes that are constantly going on in the body.
