Health Benefits of Resveratrol

Resveratrol first made headlines in 2006 when scientists declared that a lab mice fed with the substance could eat more without gaining weight, became fitter, and appeared to slow their aging processes.  Since then, a number of other studies have linked Resveratrol to anti-aging and a number of other health benefits.  Here is a summary of the number of ways in which Resveratrol may improve health :

  • Slow the process of aging – likely through mimicing the effects of a low calorie diet and/or by reducing dna damage.
  • Reduce the liklihood of heart disease.
  • Prevention of Alzheimers.
  • Anti-inflammatory effects.
  • Resistance against the effects of a stroke.
  • A 1997 study at Ohio University found that Resveratrol inhibited cancer cells from dividing.
