We all drank a lot of wine last year to deal with the chaos that was 2020, but you might want to keep drinking wine, especially after a workout because it has actual health benefits!
A new study from the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition has found that exercise can lead to “oxidative stress” which has been tied to all sorts of health problems, but that antioxidants can help counter this imbalance. The new research suggests that a glass of red could possibly work as a decent post-workout sports drink!
Grapes are both high in polyphenols, an antioxidant, and, as the fourth most produced fruit worldwide, readily available and while the researchers didn’t necessarily study wine, they did mention that it could be considered beneficial with more research.
Now this isn’t to say you need to drink a glass of wine right after the treadmill, but fingers crossed this study leads to “sports-versions” of wine!
