Incredible Facts
Surely everyone knows that small amounts of wine have a positive effect on the heart, but in addition, it can also help get rid of extra pounds and cope with stains on clothes and make your skin glow.
Blocks fat formation
There is another reason why you can easily drink a glass of wine at lunch: researchers at Ulm University in Germany have found that resveratrol, an antioxidant found in grape skin , inhibits the deposition of fat in fat cells. It also helps to avoid complications related to obesity, such as diabetes and clogged arteries.
Smoothes the skin
Wine antioxidants help damaged skin recover. Try this recipe: mix 20 drops of jasmine essential oil, a quarter cup of grape oil, 1 cup of sea salt, and half a bottle of red wine. Add it all to your bathtub and enjoy it for 20 minutes.
Cleans stains
According to Deborah Martin, the author of a book on how to remove all known stains, nothing will clean a thing from the stains left by red wine better than white wine. Gently pour the white wine onto the stain, put salt on top to absorb the liquid, then shake off the salt after a while and wash the garment as usual.
It serves as an excellent marinade
Barbeque? Studies conducted by specialists from the University of Porto (Portugal) have shown that beef marinated for two hours in red wine contains 88 percent fewer carcinogens than regular grilled beef, but without this marinade.
