"Resveratrol" The most exciting developments in the field of anti-aging

They have recently discovered that the same molecule in red wine that protects your heart also blocks inflammation that can lead to lung disease and cancer. Even more exciting – it slows an important part of the aging process.
The active ingredient in this process is resveratrol. It protects the heart by:

•Inhibiting platelet sticking
•Stopping overgrowth of smooth muscle cells
•Blocking oxidation of LDL cholesterol
•Lowering artery plaque
•Reducing irregular heartbeats

Resveratrol fights cancer by:

•Detoxifying carcinogens
•Inhibiting the synthesis of cancer compounds
•Stimulating the death of cancer cells
•Powerful antioxidant activity

This is one of the most exciting developments in the field of anti-aging medicine.
Resveratrol is in the skin of grapes. It protects the grape from threats such as cold weather, UV radiation and microbes. The amount of resveratrol in wine differs. White wine is not made with the skins like red is – so white wine has little resveratrol. Red wines from colder regions have the most resveratrol.

If you’re not a fan of red wine, resveratrol is also in:

•Raisins
•Purple Grape Juice
•Peanuts
•Mulberries
•Eucalyptus Trees
•Japanese knot wood

The problem lies in getting sufficient amounts of resveratrol. You’d need to drink 1,000 to 3,000 glasses of wine (with the sideeffects of alcohol) to experience the life extending benefits of resveratrol. Resveratrol supplements are a better option. They’re inexpensive and completely safe. You can find them in healthfood stores or on line.

A good dose for prevention is between 20-mg and 50-mg per day.For anti-aging, Dr. Sears recommends at least 100-mg. Resveratrol has never been associated with any worrisome side effects. You can take it any time of day, with or without food.

But there's so much more to the story...
