Resveratrol or the "red wine pill" is an exciting new supplement with many health benefits including having anti-aging properties. It is a powerful anti-oxidant found mainly in red wine, grapes, blueberries, pomegranates and to a lesser extent in peanuts. Resveratrol may aid in weight loss by stimulating a gene that is responsible for decreasing fat stores. Stimulation of this same gene is thought to slow the aging process. It also has anti-cancer properties and is a great energy booster which can increase stamina & endurance in athletes. It is thought to decrease the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease due to its protective effect on brain neurons. It may help lower blood sugar and enhance immunity. It benefits the cardiovascular system by increasing good cholesterol, protecting against arterial damage and preventing blood clotting thus countering some of the bad effects of a high fat diet which may explain the so-called "French Paradox." For all these reasons and then some, supplementing with resveratrol may be something you want to consider. It can give you the benefits of drinking many bottles of red wine without the added calories.
