RESVERATROL - ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

I just read several articles about resveratrol. I was attracted to learning more about resveratrol because some of my friends were giving me a hard time because of my diet. Yes Sir, I am very serious about my health, and taking care of myself. But it seems there are those that do not believe I am personally disciplined to match my image. So I figured I would prove them wrong. Now that the beating is over and I have to admit they are right on some points, I am excited about what I learned about resveratrol.

A new Harvard Medical School study says that it might be possible to eat the wrong foods and still have more energy, a healthy heart, liver and arteries; using resveratrol would give you more stamina, and greater mental clarity.

This new study may have found a way to overcome the negative effects of a high-calorie diet loaded with trans-fats. They used resveratrol to accomplish these successes. I am sure you know that resveratrol is bioflavonoid found in red grape skins. Earlier research has shown that resveratrol supports your heart, healthy blood flow. Now, scientist think resveratrol can act to keep you healthy even if you eat all the wrong foods.

The Harvard researchers wanted to know if resveratrol could help us live longer, healthier lives. To get the answer, they set up a research project using a group of middle aged mice, divided into two groups. One group of mice was fed a really bad junk food diet; 60% of the calories came from fat, including Trans fats. Yes Sir, this group of mice got very fat and developed a long list of health problems, i.e. bloated livers, insulin resistance, and strained cardiovascular systems. They died prematurely.

Amazing, the second group of mice, eating the same exact diet at the same time did not have any health problems. The big difference is that this group of mice was given resveratrol.

What were the results? Yes, the mice did become overweight, but they looked healthy and their organs functioned in a healthy manner as thin mice would function. The big surprise is that the resveratrol mice lived 15% longer.

The researchers did not stop there. It was decided to put the overweight mice through endurance tests against normal, thin mice. The fat mice had twice the stamina and agility as the thin mice; that was considered incredible. It was concluded that these overweight mice performed in such an exceptional manner because resveratrol increased blood flow and charged their muscles with energy.

A similar study was carried out by the Institute of Genetics and Molecular and Cellular Biology. In this study they put mice on treadmills and measured how far they’d run before collapsing. The average mouse was able to run 1 kilometer. Mice fed resveratrol were able to run 2 kilometers.

Based on the results of these two studies, it has been concluded that resveratrol helps to give a person a longer life and it also give you more energy to enjoy life.

What Makes this Happen?

Every cell has a small furnace inside the nucleus, it is called mitochondria. The mitochondria burn nutrients and fats into energy. The faster the metabolism, the more energy the body has. The faster your metabolism, the quicker you burn unnecessary fats so they do not get stored as fat in the body causing health problems.

As we age, our mitochondria start to degenerate and so our metabolism slows down. Good news, resveratrol increases mitochondria production by activating a protein call SIRT-1; and this creates mitochondria. Thus we get an increase in energy, helps maintain healthy blood pressure, healthy blood sugar and protects your liver.
