1. Resveratrol can increase your lifespan
Groundbreaking research by Dr David Sinclair and his team from Harvard Medical School showed that resveratrol activated the SIRT1 gene. Researchers believe that resveratrol tricks the body into believing that it is under the effects of a calorie deficient diet and thus receives the beneficial health effects such as an […]
A study from the Journal of Biological Chemistry, researchers have suggested that resveratrol seems to promotes a pathway that facilitates the clearing of the building block for plaque formation which often build up in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients
The research team studied several different antioxidants found in red wine by adding them to amyloid. […]
When talking about resveratrol, the ‘French Paradox’ is often mentioned, or vice versa. So what is this ‘paradox’ and how does it relate to resveratrol?
The ‘French paradox’ refers to the fact that the French, who (on average) consume more saturated fat than the average person from the United States, actually have a lower incidence of […]
The National Institutes of Health, Office of Dietary Supplements released their annual Annual Bibliography of Significant Advances in Dietary Supplement Research. The 2006 Annual Bibliography highlights emerging findings from a diverse array of laboratory and human studies. These include the potentially favorable effects of resveratrol as an anti-inflammatory compound.
The paper chosen regarding resveratrol, which was […]
According to Harvard and MIT researchers, we are slowly closing in on diseases such as Alzheimer’s with some cutting edge research on the SIRT1 gene, which is activated by the naturally occurring compound, resveratrol. Using resveratrol extracted from red wine, researchers have shown that it extends life-span, and now they are finding evidence of its […]
Research shows that resveratrol, found in red wine, actually lowers the amount of amyloid-beta peptides which can cause Alzheimer’s Disease. This may also somehow explain the evidence showing the link between lower leves of dementia and red wine drinkers.
Levels of amyloid-beta in cells treated with resveratrol were much lower than those in cells which […]
Long life and health is not all about resveratrol supplements, having a diet rich in nutrients will also have a synergistic effect on the body and whole foods provide the best sources of this. Resveratrol can be found in may different foods including grapes, blueberries, nuts etc. Although there isnt as much resveratrol in foods […]
Free radicals are the main result of excessive oxygen into the body. These free-radicals can damage our organs, our body and even our DNA. Resveratrol is a potent antioxidant and it is something you should consider to combat against free radical production. There has been a tremendous amount of interest in resveratrol over the last […]
A study from the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cell Biology shows that resveratrol, a compound in grapes and red wine can actually improve muscular endurance and the effectiveness of resveratrol may actually lead to athletes one day taking it for sports performance.
Mice who were fed a high fat diet along with daily resveratrol […]
Resveratrol, an ingredient in red wine shows promise in slowing the aging process in obese mice. Mice were subjected to an endurance test, in which they were run to exaustion. Mice given resveratrol were shown to actually double their endurance. Resveratrol may actually mimic a restricted calorie diet and may thus provide the benefits of […]
