There are many studies that suggest drinking moderate amounts of wine, and especially red wine, may provide beneficial effects, such as lower cholesterol levels and a reduced risk of heart disease or stroke.. It is also known that the consumption of red wine with cheese is even associated with greater cognitive activity in the elderly..

Resveratrol, a compound found in red wine and a number of other food sources such as the skins of grapes, peanuts, soybeans and berries, has gained attention in recent years for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.. It is believed to inhibit tumor progression. One new study, published in the journal Nature, suggests resveratrol may even slow the progression of a common pain disorder that affects women.. Reported by the publication Eat This, Not That.!

Endometriosis is a condition in which the lining of a woman's uterus begins to grow outside the wall of the uterus and onto other areas such as the ovaries, fallopian tubes, or intestines. It is a progressive condition that can cause severe chronic pain, irregular bleeding, and infertility.. New study shows resveratrol may slow the progression of endometriosis. Researchers isolated cells of the lining of the uterus (endometrium) from a group of 40 people, with cells from 15 people who did not have endometriosis serving as a control group, and treated them with resveratrol. They found that resveratrol is able to suppress the gene and protein that promote the growth and migration of endometrial cells..

These results are consistent with the findings of a 2019 review, where the authors reported the anti-inflammatory effect of this natural compound, which may help prevent endometriosis..

While all of these studies are promising, as the authors of the most recent study note, the endometrial cells they treated with resveratrol were only taken from women with stage 3 and 4 endometriosis.. More research is needed on the cells of women with all stages of endometriosis to fully determine the beneficial effects of resveratrol in stopping the progression of this disease..

But the researchers seem to see the promise as promising, resveratrol could be an innovative new drug in the prevention and treatment of the disease, the authors of the 2019 study wrote.. “We have not yet determined what the best form of treatment for endometriosis might be resveratrol.. It could be a drug, a dietary supplement, or, with luck, even a glass of red wine every night, ”the researchers shared..
