This Is What Happens To Your Waistline If You Drink A Glass Of Red Wine Right Before You Go To Sleep!

Many people love pouring themselves a glass or two of red wine in the evening. For some, it’s an after dinner ritual that helps them to relax and unwind after a long day. While many people assume that drinking alcohol before bedtime is bad and can lead to weight gain, new evidence suggests the opposite.
Capping off the night with a glass of red wine can actually be beneficial to our health and even help prevent weight gain. It may be contrary to everything you ever knew or thought about wine, but once you learn more about how and why, it all begins to make sense.
A main belief behind the idea that red wine before bed can help you lose weight and prevent gain is that it helps to suppress the cravings for sweet, fatty foods we tend to have at night. Drinking a little wine after dinner earlier in the evening helps make you feel more full and satisfied at a key time when most of us snack on junk food.
In addition, if you substitute a glass of red wine for a bowl of ice cream, cookies, or chips, you’ll end up consuming fewer overall calories. Alcohol produces zero glucose and red wine scores very low on the glycemic index, which means it is not very fattening.
The National Institute for Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism has even reported that “when alcohol is substituted for carbohydrates, calorie for calorie, subjects tend to lose weight, indicating that they derive less energy from alcohol than from food.”
A thirteen year Harvard University study appears to back this up further. Researchers tracked 20,000 women and found that those who drank two glasses of red wine a day were much less likely to be obese. Compared to non-drinkers, they had a 70% reduced risk of obesity, so don’t feel guilty about having that second glass of wine tonight.
A number of other studies have also shown that when we drink alcohol it signals in our bodies the production of an enzyme that helps metabolize and break alcohol down. Women produce less of this enzyme than men and therefore they end up burning more calories and fat to digest wine.
Red wine has a lot more to offer other than the aforementioned weight benefits. It’s rich in antioxidants and those help combat the effects of harmful free radicals in our bodies, which damage and age our minds and bodies.
One specific antioxidant it contains is Resveratrol, which has been shown to boost heart health and longevity. Resveratrol also helps to protect against and prevent a variety of serious health issues, such as cell damage, Alzheimer’s, and different types of cancers. Red wine also helps our bodies to relax and loosen up and there is evidence that it increases “good” levels of cholesterol (HDL).
In turn, it’s not only good for our cardiovascular health, it’s also great for our mental health since it helps lower stress levels. Less stress at night can also lead to better sleep and less out of control, stress-driven eating.
Of course, as is true with any type of food or alcohol, moderation is key. Consuming too much alcohol can easily lead to weight gain and opens you up to many other negative risks, including developing alcoholism.
Furthermore, if you are going to drink a glass of red wine at night and expect to lose weight, you have to forego consuming other calories. All in all, the main takeaway from this information is that a glass of red wine at night isn’t going to hurt you or your weight loss and diet goals.
If anything, it may be of benefit to you, so don’t hesitate to pour yourself a little.

If You Drink A Glass Of Warm Salt Water For 7 Days With An Empty Stomach THIS Happens!
If there was a simple, low cost, effective way to improve your overall general health wouldn’t you do it? There just so happens to be such a thing and all that it involves is warm water enhanced with sea salt. When you drink a glass of salt water your body starts to immediately benefit from it and in just 7 days your health is vastly improved. The solution quickly starts to remove toxins throughout the body and that in turn makes cells grow back stronger.
To harness the healing properties of salt water simply add 2 teaspoons of sea salt (**not table salt) to 1 quart of lukewarm water and stir or shake until you no longer see any salt granules in the glass or jar. Drink all of the solution on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning, for seven days straight.
After one week you should stop for the next week, and then you can repeat it every other week thereafter. It may taste a bit too salty for your palette, but your body will thank you in the end! There are many additional benefits beyond the detox aspect of the drink.
The most obvious being hydration, and when all natural sea salt is added to filtered water you’re feeding your body even more nutrients and minerals. Salt water also works to stimulate digestive enzymes in your saliva and stomach that help to break up food and thus speeds up the entire process.
Salt contains many healthy minerals which create an alkalizing effect that neutralizes acidity in the bloodstream. This benefits and improves bone health, especially in individuals with osteoporosis issues.
Another reason to drink salt water is that unrefined salt is known to reduce both adrenaline and cortisol levels. These stress hormones are a factor in relation to insomnia and besides keeping people up at night they also make you feel jittery.
By reducing their levels salt helps to calm and soothe the nervous system and that helps you get a better night’s sleep. Finally, salt water contains a variety of minerals that all greatly benefit your skin. For example, iodine increases the metabolic rate and oxygen consumption of the skin.
Chromium does wonders to alleviate dry scalp and reduces the prevalence of skin infections. Sulfur makes skin appear more radiant and glowing by keeping it smooth and clean. And lastly, zinc regulates oil glands and helps wounds heal quickly.
NOTE: If you have hypertension or any preexisting medical conditions consult your doctor before beginning the cleanse.

She Starts To Pour Glitter On This Glass Of Wine. When She’s Done It’s Unexpectedly Stunning Surprise!
If you find buying festive dinnerware to be a bit pricey and a waste of money, but want or need some decorative pieces to dress up the table this holiday season, try making some yourself! You can custom make beautiful drinking glasses out of a few simple and inexpensive products, and chances are you already have a few of these items on hand.
This easy to follow and replicate project involves creating sparkly and expensive looking drinking glasses. You can use any type of glass you’d like, whether it be a tumbler, shot glass, beer mug, wine glass, or more. This project will turn those boring old glasses into fun, beautiful, glittery pieces that are perfect for all of the upcoming winter holidays, or everyday use!
While the general how-to information is distilled in the description below, for optimum results watch the video for the step by step method used. The items you will need for the glitter glass project are mod podge, glitter, a paint brush, and some drinking glasses.
Start by putting down some pieces of old newspaper to protect the area you’re working on and to make the eventual clean up much easier. Pour a little bit of mod podge into a container and then dip the brush into it and start painting the bottom of the glass.
Evenly coat the area of the glass you wish to cover in glitter. The video shows the bottom half being painted but you can do any design, anywhere on it, that you’d like. However, you should avoid painting near the rim or you’ll risk getting glitter on your mouth!
Now the fun part. Slowly pour glitter onto the painted portions of the glass, making sure every bit is covered and coated in sparkles, and allow it to sit and dry overnight. The next day, paint on a second coat of mod podge over the dried glitter and allow it to again dry for at least 24 hours.
Now you can use and drink out of the pretty, beautifully decorated glasses!

This Is The Main Reason Why You Should Never Touch The Glass On A Shark Tank!
Some families love pulling pranks on their loved ones. Video of a family trip to the International Spy Museum, in Washington D.C., shows one grandmother’s reaction to being set up by her grandchildren. While she was not completely unsuspecting of them trying to pull a fast one on her, she was nonetheless caught completely by surprise.
The poor woman entered the blue hued shark tank room at the museum and asked her family “are you trying to scare me?” A girl off screen answers “no, touch it” in reference to the glass viewing window. Grandma touches the tank window several times and seems confused as to why she has been told to do it since nothing happens.
She moves in a little closer, inspecting the display, when out of nowhere a huge, menacing, toothy shark slams into the glass. The force appears to shatter it into a web of spidery cracks and sends the woman flying backwards to the ground in complete shock. Once she realizes it’s fake and a joke, she cries out “Oh my God, you scared the crap out of me!” Her family laughs as she gets up, rattled and yet in good humor, laughing off the prank too and playfully slapping at the kids.
The video was captured in part of the “Exquisitely Evil: 50 Years of Bond Villains” exhibit, specifically in the museum’s “Earth Redesigned” area. The “tank” that she tapped on was not a real one, but rather a clear screen that showed a pre-recorded video. Her grand children timed it just right so that she would become the victim of the virtual shark attack, and her response to it has since gone viral on YouTube.
It is safe to assume that any trusting family member would have had a similar reaction to the scary and sudden set up. A shark bursting out of the blue straight at you is not something anyone expects on a nice day trip to the museum. But then again, she did ask if they were up to something, so maybe she has been set up before and knows better than to trust the grand-kids!
