Desire to loose weight and have attractive sexy body goes together with desire to be and stay healthy. Let me tell you about one paradox you may find useful to know about. Do you know where in the world people have the lowest incidence of heart diseases? Even more interesting is that this is proved despite the fact that people in that part of this globe stuff themselves full of butter and cheese most of them smoke like chimneys! Yes, I refer to France (and southern Europe in general).
Listen to this; the average person in France consumes over 100 grams fat from animal sources per day while we know that the average American consumes about 70 grams. French people eat 3 to 5 times more butter and cheese compared to people in US and nearly 4 times more pork. However, despite this heavy diet, people there have one of the lowest levels of heart and cardiovascular disease on the planet. Why is that, what’s their secret?
Simple – it is the wine, my friends. Actually, real cause of this is the active ingredient found in red wine; a compound called resveratrol. This is one of the most important discoveries is nutritional science. Best source of resveratrol is the skin of the dark grapes but vegans do not rejoice too fast. It oxidizes quickly and it loses its metabolic potency so fresh grapes are not a reach with it. However, red wine is a potent source of resveratrol as the fermentation process retains this phytoestrogens’ unique capacities.
There are many researches that showed different benefits of resveratrol. Powerful anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects resveratrol causes are very desired without the doubt, however there is something about resveratrol I consider more interesting for all of us who have fitness, fat burn and weight loss goals in the top of the priority list.
Resveratrol gives powerful boost to gene responsible for production of protein called sirtuin-1 which blocks a receptor on fat cells. When this receptor is blocked it is shown that two functions desired by many are accruing in human body: 1) the rate at which cells metabolize fat is accelerated very much and 2) formation of new fat is scientifically decreased
I must add conclusion of other studies have proved that the stimulation of this protein by resveratrol also activates the genes that promote a longer, healthier lifespan.
I’ll give you an idea of how much I believe in the health benefits of resveratrol. Previously I never drank red wine and never really cared for its taste at all. However, when I became aware about all the benefits one receives from properly adding it in to the diet, I just could not restrain myself. Actually when I started with Nononsense muscle building program I found out this and few other very useful ways to accelerate my fat loss – lean muscle gain results.
Best of all, the red wine doesn’t have to be the expensive variety either. If you shop around a bit, or even join one of those wine clubs, you’ll find a bottle for around 5 bucks that is very drinkable. Dare I say it, enjoyable! Just be sure to seal the bottle tightly as red wine tends to go acidic.
I’m not advocating that consuming large amounts of red wine is going to get you a lean, ripped midsection. Not for a second. Alcohol is alcohol; it is a calorie-dense nutrient that acts a lot like fat in promoting calorie storage. But smart and complete exercise – diet program like I use and recommend is something which works very fine.
We all desire best possible weight loss – fat burn – muscle growth results and therefore we need use all benefits from newest scientific discoveries like this one. Sometimes these compounds are found in foods that are not your typical weight loss – fitness fare. Smart people will incorporate this new research into their diets and reap the benefits of resveratrol.

When it comes to fat loss and losing weight there is an overwhelming amount of information. If you’re like most people who want to lose weight you may feel somewhat bewildered and confused by all the diet and nutrition advice given by so many different fat loss experts. The tough part is that much of this advice overlooks the basic physiological premise for weight loss and long-term health – alkalinity!
Our bodies operate within a fine pH equilibrium. If we are too acidic, we invite disease and “fatness” to grow rampant. 2-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling, was the first to show to that cancer cannot grow in an alkaline environment. Many years later, though, most people have no idea what being alkaline means.
Being alkaline means not being acidic. The most important bodily tissue – our blood – requires a slightly alkaline pH to operate perfectly. If not, red blood cells begin to die, coagulate, and expel their waste into the blood. Oxygen transport to the cells becomes compromised and the body begins removing dangerous acid out from the blood and storing in our fat cells.
The body’s fat cells hold onto this acid as a protective mechanism since acid in the blood or vital organs can be lethal. Therefore, your ability to burn fat is related to your body’s acid-alkaline balance. You will find it very hard lose fat if you are acidic. It’s simple – your body needs to keep the fat around to hold onto to the acid. Once the acid lessens, the fat will follow.
So when you hear “experts” promoting high protein diets or other similar weight loss gimmicks you need to ask yourself if the foods they promote are acid or alkaline-forming in the body. For instance, all animal products (meat, dairy, eggs) are acid-forming in the body. Most grains and refined sugars are as well. A diet high in these foods can only result in an acidic body.
It has been said that our diet should be 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. However, I’m sure you can see that the Western diet – full of its processed, refined, and high fat foods – is the exact opposite. It’s no wonder that obesity is such a problem in Westernized countries.
So what foods are alkaline-forming?
Fruits and vegetables. The reason for this is that they are abundant in alkalizing minerals such as calcium, potassium, iron, and magnesium while possessing lower concentrations of acidifying properties such as sulfur and nitrogen.
The best sources of alkalinity of all foods are greens. Grasses, green vegetables, and sea vegetables are some examples. A diet rich in green foods will not only help prevent the onset of disease but it will keep you thin.
As you incorporate more green foods into your diet you will become more alkaline – displacing needless acid – and improving your fat loss efforts. Think about it…how many overweight vegans or vegetarians do you know? Obviously being vegetarian doesn’t guarantee weight loss because many of these people can also have atrocious diets. However, their chance of staying thin is far better than someone who eats burgers and other garbage foods.
How to alkalize your body?
Eat for health and you will alkalize your body and lose weight. Here are 4 strategies to help you alkalize your body for optimal fat loss (and health) results:
1. Eat more fruits and vegetables and get plenty of greens. My rule of thumb is to consume at least 1 green juice and/or salad each day.
2. Drink plenty of water. You should drink at least half your body weight (lbs) in ounces each day.
3. Breathe! Take a few minutes each day and focus on deep breathing. Oxygen is alkalizing.
4. Minimize and avoid processed foods, artificial sweeteners, and nutrition-deficient drinks like coffee and sodas.
