If you want to avoid gaining weight, it may be time to ditch the skipping rope and grab a corkscrew instead.
For U.S. experts have found a compound in red wine that can help control obesity.
The substance, piceatannol, delays the generation of young fat cells and prevents them from growing into mature ones.
It is also thought to protect the body from heart and neurodegenerative diseases, as well as cancer.
The compound blocks insulin’s ability to activate genes that carry out further stages of fat cell formation.
The agent found in wine is also thought to protect the body from heart and neurodegenerative diseases and cancer.
The groundbreaking research was carried out at Purdue University, Indiana, USA.
Lead researcher Dr Kee-Hong Kim said: 'In the presence of piceatannol you can see delay or complete inhibition of young fat cells.
'Piceatannol alters the timing of gene expressions, gene functions and insulin action during adipogenesis - the process in which young fat cells become mature fat cells.'
