Healthy Aging with Resveratrol
by Dr. Julian Whitaker
Published 04/13
Benjamin Franklin once said, “Wine is constant proof that God loves us and loves to see us happy.” But he didn’t know the half of it. In recent years, we have discovered more health benefits of wine than even the most ardent oenophile (lover of wine) could have imagined.
Moderate wine consumption seems to reduce risk of cardiovascular disease, improve insulin sensitivity, and lower risk of diabetes and some types of cancer. People who drink wine, especially red wine, are less likely to be obese, suffer with depression, or get Alzheimer’s. And in addition to staying healthy, wine drinkers tend to live longer!
Alcohol deserves some credit because a few of these benefits extend to moderate drinking of any kind. But wine—particularly red wine—has a magic of its own. It contains resveratrol, a unique compound now available in an exciting new supplement.
