wines can slow muscle deterioration

Lack of exercise can lead to muscle atrophy, diabetes,  bone destiny and osteo problems that can occur during menopause. A study in the journal of the American Societies for Experimental Biology implied that resveratrol a phenol that is found in red wine, may inhibit the deterioration due to the lack of excerise. The study consisted of two rats that were exposed to the same environmental circumstances. One group was given resveratrol and the other none. The group that was given resveratrol did not show bone loss and  insulin resistance, which can lead to diabetes. Study suggest that if you have not made it to the gym in the past week have a glass of red wine and "Pinot noir has the highest concentration of the muscle-building nutrient."
