OMFG: Science Says A Glass Of Red Wine May Be Equivalent To An Hour At The Gym – Not even close

This complete waste of an article claims that drinking red wine is the equivalent to some kind of a workout:

The study it references claims that the resveratrol contained in red wine will raise your heart rate a bit, but they don’t tell us how much red wine it would take to equal any amount of exercise. The study is more likely taking bout giving people large doses of resveratrol alone to boost the heart rate artificially for those that cannot actually do physical labor. Go ahead and have a glass of wine, and then go for an hour walk! Why not see the world outside your front door and get a little work out in at the same time.

TL;DR – Drinking a glass of red wine may increase your heart rate for a bit… Just go to the gym!
