About Resveratrol

Resveratrol

Introducing Nutronix NuRev...Resveratrol!
 
The discovery of Resveratrol has caused an avalanche of excitement amidst scientists and researchers from around the world. Can it be true that Resveratrol holds the promise of slowing the onset of premature aging?


Resveratrol is a class of polyphenolic compounds that is rich in flavonoids and has antioxidant, anti inflammatory and anti atherogenic qualities. Some plants like Eucalyptus and knotweed produce these polyphenols when they are exposed to stress, fungal infection, UV rays and injury. Resveratrol can also be found in foods like grapes,blueberries, cranberries, bilberries, peanuts and the red wine. An ounce of red wine contains 90 micrograms of Resveratrol. Since Resveratrol is found on the grape skins it is hardly present in white wines were the grape skins are discarded during preparation of the wine.


A study by Harvard University on mice revealed that when Resveratrol was fed to mice while they were on a high calorie diet, it reversed the enlarged liver conditions of the mice. The incidence of obesity, heart diseases and atherosclerosis in these mice, caused by their unhealthy diet, was eliminated by Resveratrol. In fact Resveratrol increased survival rates of mice on unhealthy diets by 31%. The mice also had increased energy levels that the researchers compared to that of trained athletes. The study results have indicated that Resveratrol can possibly, effectively treat aging related diseases.


Resveratrol works as an anti aging agent by targeting HDACs ( histone deacetylase enzymes) related to aging and life span control. Resveratrol has been found to be able to imitate the effects of calorie limitation. Resveratrol stimulates a gene called mammalian SIRT1 just as calorie restriction does. This gene promotes life span. Resveratrol activates AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) which is an enzyme that enhances insulin sensitivity and fatty acid oxidation. Resveratrol also kindles AMPK, which promotes longevity.


Resveratrol is rich in antioxidants. The Resveratrol antioxidants prevent photo aging and enhance skin freshness, softness and quality. These antioxidants destroy free radicals that cause premature aging, making Resveratrol great for skin care. Resveratrol can alsogive you a boost in your energy levels giving you the vigor and flexibility of your youth.


Resveratrol can combat ailments related to the natural aging process of your body. It slows blood platelet formation making blood vessels more supple and less likely to form blockages.This improves blood flow and helps to prevents cardiovascular diseases like Atherosclerosis.


Scientists are attributing the low incidence of cardio vascular diseases in Frensch people, despite their fat rich conventional diet, to their frequent consumption of red wine. There is also a strong relation between Resveratrol and cholesterol. Proper intake of Resveratrol supplements helps in lowering cholesterol levels and eventually may help in decreasing the risks of heart disease.


It has the ability to reduce blood sugar so it can prevent diabetes, an old age disease. Other cardio vascular benefits include augmented Nitric Oxide production, reduction of vasoactive peptides, diminishment of oxidized low-density lipoprotein, cyclooxygenase inhibition.


Resveratrol may prevent Alzheimer’s disease by breaking down beta-amyloid and by positively impacting neural tissues. It fights cancerous cells selectively without harming the health of good cells in the body. It may also be effective in decreasing the likelyhood of getting prostate cancer. It boosts anti cancer defenses and assits the bodies immune system.
