Washington (dbTechno) – According to new research, finding the fountain of youth may be as simple as drinking red wine. New research has found that a compound in red wine actually slows aging, reduces bone loss, among other things.
Researchers at the U.S. National Institute on Aging, Harvard University, as well as other researchers have found that a compound in wine, resveratrol, actually prevents aging.
The initial research for this study has been conducted on mice. What the study found is that resveratrol, which is found not only in red wine, but also in grapes and nuts, helps increase longevity.
Not only does it help fight aging, but it also improved liver and muscle function as well.
The study found that mice who consumers resveratrol on a daily basis had better bones overall compared to mice who did not consume the compound.
After nearly 3-years had passed, the mice consuming resveratrol had fewer cataracts, better balance, coordination, as well as improved liver and muscle function.
Overall, the mice who ate a high-calorie diet and were also consuming resveratrol lived longer than mice with just a high-calorie diet.
The study was published in the journal Cell Metabolism on Thursday.
Resveratrol can help you to lead a long and healthy life so says Dr. Oz.
Red wine alone does not supply enough resveratrol to achieve the
full range of benefits. You need to take high potency resveratrol
supplements to achieve the results documented in scientific studies.
Resveratrol Supplements can also help you control your weight naturally
by increasing energy, reducing cravings, and limiting your appetite.
According to Wikipedia, Consumer Lab, an independent dietary
supplement and over the counter products evaluation organization,
published a report on 13 November 2007 on the popular resveratrol
supplements. The organization reported that there exists a wide range
in quality, dose, and price among the 13 resveratrol products
evaluated. The actual amount of resveratrol contained in the
different brands range from 2.2mg for Revatrol, which claimed to have
400mg of “Red Wine Grape Complex”, to 500mg for Biotivia.com Transmax,
which is consistent with the amount claimed on the product’s label.
Prices per 100mg of resveratrol ranged from less than $.30 for
products made by Biotivia.com, jarrow, and country life, to a high of
$45.27 for the Revatrol brand.
