Regular consumption of red wine in small doses may be key to active longevity, new study finds. In a series of tests, scientists at Harvard Medical School found that resveratrol, a naturally occurring phytoalexin secreted by some plants as a defense against parasites such as bacteria or fungi, can prolong cell life by acting as a natural antioxidant and delaying the aging process throughout the body's systems..

However, resveratrol is found in many different foods, including cocoa and nuts, as well as grapes.. However, during fermentation, it acquires a number of important properties, in particular, antitumor, neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects, according to Pannochka, an online publication for girls and women aged 14 to 35.. net Interestingly, in a number of studies, scientists were able to achieve longevity indicators in experimental mice about once every other time - the researchers did not observe stable indicators.

Also, researchers have traditionally believed that the reason for this phenomenon may lie in the different state of the body of the animals themselves at the time of the start of the use of resveratrol.. However, in reality, it turns out that resveratrol can also vary significantly - synthetic resveratrol in particular does not have a number of those important functions that natural resveratrol has..

Interestingly, resveratrol from various plants and nuts may also lack these properties.. The most beneficial is resveratrol in red wine.

Through the use of red wine, scientists finally managed to get sustainable results.. In particular, the life of bees with the use of resveratrol from red wine increased by 1..

3 - 1.5 times compared to standard indicators. The life of mice was lengthened by about the same. However, the question of the optimal dose of resveratrol intake remains unclear.. According to scientists, we can talk from 3-4 glasses a week to 14-15 glasses.. Such a wide spread is due to the fact that for the most part the processes themselves remain unclear, through which this compound has a beneficial effect on the body..
