Love a good glass of vino but hate hitting the gym to work it off? This news will make your day.\u00a0<\/strong>Research conducted by the University of Alberta in Canada has found that health benefits in resveratrol, a compound found in red wine, are similar to those we get from exercise.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\n

According to lead researcher, Jason Dyck, these findings will particularly help those who are unable to exercise. Resveratrol was seen to improve physical performance, heart function and muscle strength in the same way as they\u2019re improved after a gym session.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think resveratrol could help patient populations who want to exercise but are physically incapable,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cResveratrol could mimic exercise for them or improve the benefits of the modest amount of exercise that they can do.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Discussion over the health benefits of red wine have been well documented. Studies have revealed that those who drink a glass of red wine a day are less likely to develop dementia or cancer, that it\u2019s good for your heart, anti-ageing and can regulate blood sugar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And now there\u2019s research backing that fact that it boosts heart rate? This is literally the best thing ever.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Red wine over a heavy session on the cross-trainer? Now that\u2019s something we can definitely get onboard with.<\/p>\n

\n

Though, let\u2019s be straight here – this is all in moderation, it only applies to red wine and the university\u2019s study was carried out on rats, not humans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Still, if you want to up your intake of resveratrol? Try blueberries, peanut butter, red grapes and dark chocolate. Remember, a balanced diet is everything.<\/p>\n
