Scientists believe they have found the fountain of youth, and it’s on the shelves at your local store! Yep, we are talking about vino. Wine lovers have been rejoicing everywhere upon hearing the rumor that “a glass a day keeps the doctor away”!
Well, red wine at least, and the reason scientists believe it might bring positive health benefits is that it contains a micronutrient called resveratrol.
Studies show that resveratrol might have anti-aging properties, including stimulating cell regeneration, warding off extra pounds, and even helping with glucose intolerance [1]. Just take a look below!
Micronutrient? Resveratrol is a Supernutrient!
Resveratrol is a polyphenol; a micronutrient found in plant-based foods [2]. They are believed to be high in antioxidants, hence, the claim that they slow the aging process down.
Better yet, it isn’t just in red wine--it comes in supplements too!
While the jury is still out on a lot of the properties of resveratrol, studies show a lot of promise in this nutrient being utilized as a support for good health and longevity. Here are just a few of the benefits research shows resveratrol might bring [3], [4]:
- Supports lower blood pressure levels
- Supports lower “bad” cholesterol
- Supports nerve cell health
- May support relief for joints
- Promotes advanced antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, which are linked to a slower decline in brain health
- May lower the risk of diabetes
- Could limit the risk of cancerous cell growth
Resveratrol is not a cure for disease nor a medicine, but its properties might just support good health.
As always, consult with your medical professional before deciding to take resveratrol as a part of your daily regimine. Certain groups of people might be susceptible to negative side effects, such as those who are pregnant, people on blood thinners, or those who are taking aspirin or ibuprofen.
And as we mentioned above, you don’t have to drink wine every day to reap the potential benefits of resveratrol!
