Weight Loss Made Simple

2007-Dec-4 - Resveratrol -more spring in your step at 40 , and extra energy at 50

Its possible you've heard of Resveratrol you might even heard that it can be found in red wine (sometimes refered to as the French Paradox) and some other plants.

 Resveratrol found in red wine

Resveratrol is a highly effective naturally occuring antioxidant found in plants and is now being suggested as the cure to premature aging (aging too fast).One study a few earlier this century indicated that Resveratrol had the effect of extending the lives of laboratory mice by 30 percent. To put that in perspective the equivalent of 40 human years.


It's come to my attention that Resveratrol might be the most powerful and versatile antioxidant and anti aging supplement there is available. Of course CoQ10 may be more versatile and have more uses but that remains to be seen.


The very latest studies released from the Institute of Genetics, Molecular & Cellular Biology suggest that resveratrol assisted mice by giving them double the energy they normally had. It was if their muscle were stronger and their endurance was boosted, it appeared almost as if they were in training with their improved performance.


A French study carried out by Professor Johan Auwerx a certified clinical specialist in Endocrinology, Metabolism and Nutrition chief researcher and professor at the Medical Faculty of the University Louis Pasteur in Strasbourg stated " Resveratrol makes you perform like a trained athlete without any of the work." . Other studies in Finland also indicate that resveratrol will be just effective on humans as it is mice.


Additionally, resveratrol also protected the tested mice from gaining weight and developing the symptoms of diabetes and obesity.


Another benefit was a boosted sensitivity to insulin (which is usually influenced by the aging process) . By reversing the decline of the bodies effectiveness at controlling insulin as a direct result there is an increase in weight control a reduction in the risk of diabetes and significant impact on the damaging effects of aging.


Aside from red wine, good sources of Resveratrol are blueberries, cranberries, bilberries, and red grapes. You can take Resveratrol in supplement form as well, which you can find in some health food stores although they tend to offer lower strength products. I recommend a dose ranging from 120 mg to 150 mg daily which I found best from Rejuvanol by One Health.
