Drink Red Wine before running to lose weight

I run everyday lately because I wanted to lose some weight and lower my blood pressure.  The easiest way to keep blood pressure down and make the run more easy is to drink 1/3 of a cup of red wine before my jog. Here is the sequence:

• drink 1/3 cup of wine to thin blood and dialate capillairys about 45 minutes before running
• Continuously drink water during the subsequent 45 minutes. This also thins blood. 
• Run 2.5 miles
• do the run in the mid to late afternoon.  I do not wait till evening or I will have trouble sleeping
• The wine will help you your muscles be more loose from the beginning. Warm up time shortened.
• If you want to goose things up a bit you can start your day drinking water then 1/2 cup of coffee – only a little as coffee drys you out pretty badly – green tea is better.

Now you may think this is just another dumb health tip but its not.  There is something in the red wine that makes you lose fat much MUCH more effectively.  I have tried loosing weight running 6 miles without the wine and lose very little and very slowly.  Whereas when I use the wine its much easier.

I am 47 years old and was seeing 130 / 80 blood pressure with resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute before starting running again.  This is not a good set of numbers for me.  After 2 months of wine and training its 120 / 53 with 47 beats per minute.

The last time I did this was when I was 38.  I was combining it with lifting weights and it was highly effective.  The photo below is from 1999 when I was 38.   I do not know what is in red wine that makes it so effective in increasing health and fitness but whatever it is it works for me.   I wish I would have known about this from day 1 of life as I believe it probably extends life just as some scientific reports are finding.  It may be as little as helping people just stay fit. 

Red wine definitely slightly supresses my appetite.
