A new University of Cambridge study has revealed a fascinating method to control how much alcohol you drink\u2014and it’s much simpler than abstaining. .<\/span><\/p>\n

Research shows that drinking wine\u2014particularly red wine\u2014is healthy in moderation. It is linked to lower risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and dementia.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cModeration\u201d is usually defined as one 5-ounce glass of wine a day for women and two for men. However it can be very \u00a0simple to go from a healthy amount to over drinking.<\/span><\/p>\n

British researchers may have found a solution. They provided bar customers with three different size wine glasses: 8.4 ounces, standard 10.1-ounce glasses, and larger 12.5-ounce stemware.<\/span><\/p>\n

All three glasses were filled with the same amount of wine, 5.9 ounces.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scientists discovered that people using the larger wine glasses requested more refills and ended up drinking more. <\/span><\/p>\n

The lead author of the study was Rachel Pechey. She\u2019s a public health research associate at the University of Cambridge. It is believed that perception is responsible. In a larger glass, portions look smaller \u201cleading us to drink faster and order more,\u201d Pechey said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Bigger the Glass, the More You Drink<\/span><\/h2>\n

This may seem too simple, however, to drink less, simply use a smaller glass.<\/span><\/p>\n

A 9.4% increase may not seem like much. But the health effects add up over time.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, a man who has two glasses of wine a night out of a smaller glass would end up with 9,717 fewer calories a year. Over five years, this would make him about 15 pounds lighter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Many people enjoy a glass or two of red wine each night because of its anti-aging and heart benefits. It contains an antioxidant compound called resveratrol that has been shown to increase lifespan in mice. A University of London study found that procyanidins in red wine keep blood vessels healthy.<\/span><\/p>\n

So drink up! (From a small glass.)<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new University of Cambridge study has revealed a fascinating method to control how much alcohol you drink\u2014and it’s much simpler than abstaining. .
