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.

This Man Was Driving Down A Deserted Highway Late At Night. What He Saw I Still Have Chills!
Imagine driving down an empty highway late at night and all alone. All of a sudden up ahead you see large orange cones set up in the middle of each traffic lane. A dark car is pulled off on the shoulder and two shadowy figures stand around. There are no lights or hazards on and no other cars are close-by. As you drive up and ask what is going on one of the men approaches the car and begins to reach into his pocket! What would you do next?
One man caught this exact scene on his dashboard camera and uploaded it to YouTube for the world to witness. Ivan Tukhtin, a car enthusiast, was driving home on Highway 78 late one night from Hoboken, New Jersey with his camera rolling. He suddenly came across the random roadblock and slowed down.
He described his interaction with the two people in an online forum writing, “I didn’t want to hit him so I called him over to my car…and then he reached for his pocket and I dipped and immediately called the cops.” He further added “people are ****ing crazy, don’t trust anyone…i am kind of curious of what he would have done though.”
Tukhtin did what any smart and sane person who values their life would have done in that situation. Even if the people were having car issues it does not excuse the sketchy way they forced the driver to stop, in the middle of the highway, in the dark, late at night, with no hazards on to warn him or hint at possible car problems.
Police later announced that they had arrested the two men in connection with the fake roadblock and charged one with drunk driving and the other with hindering traffic. This story could have ended on a more sinister note had the driver decided not to take off when he did. We will never know what may have happened that night, but thankfully we do know the driver is safe now.

Two Women Have Gone Blind Because of Something We All Do Everyday. I Had No Idea.
Two women, aged 22 and 44, came to see doctors with symptoms of temporary blindness that had doctors stumped about the cause. The blindness in one eye was occurring for 15 minutes, in the first two women reporting these scary symptoms!
As more and more people began reporting similar incidents, researchers began conducting a variety of tests including MRIs, heart scans and other types of evaluations that didn’t reveal the cause. When they began questioning lifestyle choices, they were amazed at what seemed to be a common behavior, amongst those who experienced this temporary blindness.
What you will hear in the video you are about to watch below, are results of research reported in the New England Journal of Medicine, which cites nighttime cell phone use as the cause of this bizarre problem. While the blindness has been found to be temporary, the risk of more permanent eye damage in young eyes has been discovered.
Further research done at Harvard, has revealed links between cell phone light and other illnesses; these include: obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Thus, the blue cell phone light has not only been linked to temporary and more lasting eye damage but other potential health hazards as well.

This Guy Went Blind Because He Made A Simple Mistake Many People Make Every Night!
Contact lenses are a hugely popular alternative to wearing eyeglasses. Most people wear them in order to see better and to correct their vision. However, countless others choose to wear colored contacts to change up their eye color or to achieve a certain look. The CDC estimates that in the United States more than 30 million people wear contacts, which are considered medical devices and are regulated by the FDA (cdc.gov/contactlenses).
When a person goes to apply the tiny, thin, round, clear plastic lenses, they place them directly onto the surface of their eye. This application method requires users to have clean hands and sanitary conditions around the lenses since bacteria, dirt, and any other contaminants can easily be transferred to the eye when putting them in or taking them out.
It’s common knowledge among contact users that you should always take them out before bed and never wear them overnight. Failing to do so puts you at a risk for infection, irritation, and even blindness. It’s simply a risk no one should take, but sometimes people forget or brush it off and leave them in anyways.
Also, some “extended wear” contacts are labeled as safe to leave in for multiple days at a time. Those were the type of contacts Chad Groeschen had been wearing for several days when he started to lose vision in his left eye.
At first Chad’s eye was itchy and watery so he assumed it was allergies acting up. But when he awoke one night with a massive headache, sinus pressure, and cloudy vision, he decided to get medical attention. Doctors checked out his eyes and told him that Pseudomonas bacteria had built up under his contact and damaged his eye.
This type of bacteria is most commonly found in the eyes of people who wear or leave in contacts for extended periods of time and if left untreated it can cause blindness. Doctors were able to halt and control the infection in Chad’s eye, but it had progressed too far and he ended up becoming blind in his left eye.
Chad is currently waiting for the open sores in his eye to heal to see if he may qualify for a corneal transplant. Such an operation could potentially restore some of the vision he has lost, but only time will tell. He’s decided to use his story and experience as a way to warn and remind others of the dangers and risks associated with leaving in contact lenses for too long.
Even if the packaging claims it is safe to do so, don’t jeopardize your health and eyesight. Take the lenses out, clean them, give your eyes a break, and if you notice changes or irritation in your eye have it checked out immediately.

Nobody Believed Her When She Described Her Cat’s Nightly Ritual. So She Captured THIS
It is hard to imagine a world where adorable, funny and highly entertaining cat videos were once scarce. What has now taken the internet by storm barely existed about 20 years ago outside of the America’s Funniest Home Video sector. While many cat videos have come and gone, there are several that stand the test of time. Here is a classic YouTube video originally uploaded back in the day in September of 2008 by user hkbecky.
She captured what has arguably become one of the Internets best videos ever to feature cats. Her two feline companions, Goo and Yat Jai, are seen playing a game of patty cake atop her computer desk. She explains that they always play the popular activity that is a memorable childhood favorite. They stand facing each other and touch paws intermittently on and off. When they sense that their owner is filming they cease all play, but they are right back at it when they think that she is no longer looking.
Now fast forward about two years to November of 2010. That is when fellow YouTube user JC Elliot posted his version of the infamous original. He translated the cats actions into human-speak and gives us his imagined version of what they were actually saying. He thought up the perfect narrative and added in a voice-over. The result is a hilarious, and perfectly on point, rendition of a game of “cattycake,” as it has come to be known. See for yourself how awesome, cute, and perfect it is!
