Resveratrol

Treatment

Rosé may be the official-unofficial choice for #SundayFunday, but there’s one reason to substitute a glass of red occasionally: It’s called resveratrol. Resveratrol is a naturally occurring plant compound found in red wine (white and rosé wines have it too, just lower amounts), and there’s buzz about its health benefits. Specifically, it’s touted as a heart healthy, anti-inflammatory metabolism-booster—in fact, some say resveratrol in wine is why the French stay healthy while enjoying so much butter and fat! Good news for vino drinkers (and Francophiles)! If you don’t drink alcohol (or you stay away from wine specifically), you’re still in luck—resveratrol isn’t just in wine. It’s found in lots of plants, including grapes, peanuts, apples, raspberries, blueberries, plums, and soy, as well as in Japanese knotweed, a traditional herbal remedy for heart disease and strokes (check it out in the WanaLibrary!). Despite the promise of resveratrol, it’s not quite the miracle cure you might expect from all the over-the-top hype. Plus, it’s a challenge to know how much resveratrol your body needs in order to reap the potential benefits. Researchers haven’t yet pinpointed an effective dosage, but they’re working to find ways to increase its bioavailability.

The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life

In The Longevity Factor, noted neuroscientist and surgeon Joseph Maroon, M.D., offers the definitive look at recent scientific breakthroughs identifying a group of natural substances -- including the much-publicized molecule resveratrol -- that can actually activate a specific set of genes in humans that promote a longer, healthier life. These substances, which make red wine, dark chocolate, and green tea good for us, appear to stave off a wide array of age-related diseases and keep us feeling young and vital. Resveratrol is the centerpiece of headline-making research being conducted at the Harvard Medical School and elsewhere. Only recently, however, have scientists discovered how to isolate resveratrol and concentrate it into an affordable and safe supplement. Already, more than 200 supplements featuring resveratrol have flooded the market, and there are countless more on the way. But which ones work best? What is a consumer to look for on the label? Since resveratrol is a natural substance, can you get enough of it through diet alone, or should you combine diet with a supplement? And what lies on the horizon from the pharmaceutical industry? All those questions and many more are answered in this immensely informative and practical book.
