Fit and Youthful Life

Guest Author: Richard Williams


The old saying goes, “Everything old is new again.” When it comes to aging and your health, that’s not such a bad thing, is it? The Ancient Romans had a secret weapon in the fight to stay young and healthy. Twenty odd years ago, modern scientists discovered the so-called French Paradox, where despite diets significantly higher in fat and calories, the French had significantly lower rates of heart disease and cardiac arrest than the rest of Western culture. Now, thanks to research into resveratrol and the development of resveratrol supplements, that same secret is available to everyone.

The Secret of Resveratrol   

What the French and Ancient Roman diets have in common is red wine. The Romans even had a saying – In Vino Sanitas – “In wine there is health.” That’s because red wine contains some of the highest naturally occurring amounts of resveratrol, a powerful anti-oxidant. Grapes, blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates and other fruit produce resveratrol as protection against sun damage and fungal diseases. It helps prolong the life and health of the fruit. Something in the fermentation involved in turning grapes into red wine intensifies the amounts of resveratrol released. This magic of nature provided all those Romans and Frenchmen with a veritable fountain of youth. You simply can’t consume enough red wine anymore, however, thanks to pesticides that prevent the grapes from producing large amounts of resveratrol. Naturally derived resveratrol can be found safely and effectively in dietary supplements, providing you with all the anti-aging health benefits of red wine without the hangover.

Resveratrol and Your Heart

Resveratrol will not keep you young and healthy forever. It has been proven, in various studies, that it is good for the heart and circulatory system. And that can help keep you feeling younger and healthier longer. It acts as an anti-coagulant, inhibiting the formation of dangerous heart attack and stroke inducing blood clots. It may even lower blood pressure. Resveratrol has also been proven to slow cardiac aging. It acts on the cells to prevent the damage caused by natural aging. Preventing the damage slows the aging process. Thus, resveratrol leaves your heart younger and healthier than it found it.

Resveratrol and Cancer

Studies have shown that resveratrol may be effective in the treatment of some cancers. Resveratrol targets the cancer cells and makes them more susceptible to the effects of chemotherapy. It may also injure the cells internally, decreasing their ability to function as they would like. Resveratrol has a detrimental effect on the internal energy source of cancer cells, slowing their growth.

Resveratrol and Diabetes

A study released in 2008 showed that resveratrol was significant in improving the overall health of diabetics. Resveratrol prevents damage to blood vessels caused by the high level of glucose in a diabetic’s blood supply. By preventing this damage, resveratrol can actually prevent heart and kidney disease, as well as possibly preventing diabetic glaucoma. Resveratrol was shown to not only prevent blood vessel damage in some patients, but to actually mend and reverse vessel damage, as well. Healing this blood vessel damage may end diabetic neuropathy in hands and feet. Early research shows resveratrol may also help lower blood glucose amounts, and further study into this effect/benefit is underway.

Resveratrol and Other Ailments

Resveratrol can act as an anti-inflammatory, helping to reduce the effects of arthritis. Some studies have shown that resveratrol may help prevent or at least aid in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. Resveratrol seems to elicit the same effects on the body as a long-term reduced calorie diet – producing better cardiac and joint health, lower cholesterol, lower blood sugar, and lower blood pressure. Overall, resveratrol may just be one of the most powerful anti-aging anti-oxidants known to man. Most of today’s resveratrol supplements are derived from a Japanese plant, knotweed, shown to be almost as high in resveratrol as red wine. It is important when choosing a supplement to ensure that your source of resveratrol contains no “fillers” – sugars, gums, colors and the like – other than those ingredients needed to produce the pill or powder, as these added ingredients can have effects of their own, as well as decreasing the effectiveness of your supplement.

Resveratrol and Side Effects

No supplement, natural or otherwise, comes without some risks or dangers. While studies have shown that resveratrol carries few harmful side effects, a few precautions should be noted. Resveratrol’s anti-clotting properties make it vital that resveratrol not be taken with other medications or supplements that also serve as anti-coagulants. Since resveratrol is a plant-based phytoestrogen, women who are pregnant or nursing should not take resveratrol. Those on estrogen-based contraceptives, or hormone replacement therapies should not take resveratrol without first consulting with their obstetrician, as resveratrol may affect the way these other estrogen containing medications work. Likewise, women at risk for or survivors of breast cancer should not take resveratrol, either, as it has been shown to actually increase the risks of breast cancer. Taking high doses of resveratrol (greater than 500 mg daily) has been shown to cause joint stiffness and discomfort, especially in the hands and feet.

Resveratrol and You

Resveratrol, therefore, may not be for everyone. If you, like the Romans and French, want to experience the same anti-aging benefits of resveratrol, scientists recommend a daily dose between 300 and 500 mg. It may not be a fountain of youth, but resveratrol supplements may be the next best thing. And you can stay sober in the bargain.



Instant Wrinkle Reducer

Resveratrol is being hailed as the “Fountain Of Youth” by many people but is there a connection between Resveratrol and losing weight? Read on to find out…

Scientists have been researching for many years now to see that if they restrict the calorie intake in animals, would it increase their life span, and what would the health benefits be?

Because of the interest to see if the same results would be found in humans, a test has been running over some years now using human volunteers. Their calorie intake was reduced by up to 25% to allow scientists to see the effects it would have.

What they found is that the health benefits were enormous. Much lower cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, good glucose levels, a lower BMI and very low levels of a reactive protein known to cause heart disease. All of the above contribute to extending your span.

Now there are of course side effects to reducing your calorie intake which could cause tiredness, nausea, make you dizzy, lack of strength etc, but these can easily be overcome by what scientists call “mimetics”. That basically means taking supplements and nutrients to replicate what is normally found in our diet.

Research now tells us, that we are able to replicate the positive effects of low calorie diets when we take supplements that mimic what happens to our body when on a low calorie diet.

To simplify that even further, what it means is that you do not have to go on a low calorie diet to be able to reap the benefits health wise.

Resveratrol is known to lower cholesterol, produce healthy Glucose, triglyceride, and lower blood pressure. Researchers believe that this is the main reason why Resveratrol is responsible for fewer heart disease problems in people who drink Red Wine.

We know from research that people who constantly go on low calorie diets will suffer from nutrient deficiencies which can lead to heart problems, cancer and other diseases. Even though obesity is on the rise, nutritional deficiencies are on the rise within the USA, which leads us to the question of whether low calorie diets are causing this rise?

Resveratrol has many benefits and can reduce the risk of nutritional deficiencies when taken on a daily basis, especially when taking it with supplements and nutrient extracts. All of which “mimic” the benefits of low calorie diets.

Resveratrol has been developed to help us live longer and scientists have the proof that this is so. Regular daily intake of Resveratrol, when combined with the right nutrients and supplements, could also help you to lose weight without the side effects.

Although relatively new, Resveratrol is getting a lot of press coverage now because of all the research carried out and the positive feedback from scientists.

If you are struggling with your weight, and want to increase your life span, then make sure you put Resveratrol to the test. Check out my website below for more details on this wonder discovery.

Are you frustrated with the conflicting reports on the best food sources for resveratrol?  And is food the best source? This wonder nutrient is important to include in our diet, so here are some of the best sources.

Primarily the highest concentration in food is to be found in the skin, seeds and pomace of grapes, hence the fact that red wine contains some too, as it is fermented longer with the grape skins.

However, red wine is not recommended as one of the best food sources for resveratrol due to the fact you would need to drink well over a liter a day to start to gain any benefit, and the detrimental effects of the alcohol would wipe out any gains.

Other sources are blueberries and peanuts, although in smaller quantities.

Here are the approximate amounts you will get:

1 cup red grapes – 1.25mg

1 cup peanut butter – 0.15mg

1 cup peanuts – 0.25mg

1 cup boiled peanuts -1.30mg

As you can see, even the best food sources for resveratrol are not enough to gain the maximum benefits, so to take it in supplement form is now the most popular way.

High quality ones come from the Japanese Knotweed plant, the most potent source on earth, and one the Japanese have long used for curing and healing many illnesses.

You should make sure that any resveratrol supplements you take only contain natural ingredients, with at least 20mg of the natural 50% trans type, which is the most active one.

I am sure you are aware of the many benefits of this wonder nutrient including helping to fight cancer, diabetes, heart disease and even increasing our lifespan. It is being hailed as the most effective compound to have ever been found to reverse the aging process.

So it is important to get our intake levels up and when combined in a natural multi supplement its effects are greatly enhanced, unlike the best food sources for resveratrol.

You will notice improved clarity of mind, and feel that you have more energy than before, as well as helping to potentially stave off future degenerative diseases when combined with other natural synergetic ingredients like ginkgo biloba and green tea extract.

I am sure many more wonderful discoveries lie ahead, but the fact that we already know the power of this nutrient, means we can start to harness that power now, even though the best food sources for resveratrol don’t provide enough, a daily supplement can provide all we need.

If you would like to learn more about the synergistic supplements which I personally take, including resveratrol, why not visit my website. 

 



Look Young Again

Modern day world including the broadcast media is talking about the numerous Resveratrol benefits and the usefulness is going to increase more within few years. This antioxidant helps to cure cancer, slow down the aging process and also leads to considerable amount of weight loss. These are a few of the benefits that are savored.

To put up an example we can mention about the French people who are well-known for their high eating and drinking habit. They love to have foods rich in fat content like butter, pork etc. But still the rate of heart diseases of these people is quite low. The main source behind this is definitely the high quantity of red wine which they consume. Resveratrol is mainly found in red wine, a natural compund which helps us lead a young and healthy life.

Resveratrol & Health Benefits:



Health is undoubtedly the biggest wealth endowed by God. So you should be extremely health conscious which can be done by a regular intake of the natural compound Resveratrol as part of your diet. The most important of the numerous Resveratrol benefits is that it can increase the number of years you are going to survive keeping your looks as beautiful and young as ever! Does this sound unbelievable? Even if it does, it is a fact that has been proved by many researches but for this you have to maintain a proper lifestyle and eating habit.

Resveratrol prevents the harmful effects caused to the cells by the AGE proteins (Advanced Glycation Endproducts). Even though red wine is a great source of Resveratrol, you can totally rely on it for a regular intake of resveratrol. So, a regular intake of peanut butter, peanut, seeds, colorful fruits and vegetables, grapes is also essential.

cThe Resveratrol benefits are never ending with various tests adding newer benefits every day.

Guest Author: Dr. Paul Gross


One of the most well-known stories about the health benefits of eating fruit is called the French Paradox – the condition of unexpected low incidence of cardiovascular disease in French citizens who regularly eat extraordinary quantities of high-fat foods and consume red wine. These people technically should have high rates of cardiovascular disease but seem protected by the chemicals in wine.

Although we now recognize that high-fat diets are undesirable, the potential benefits of a diet rich in whole food phytochemicals are clear when combined with other healthy dietary and lifestyle practices, such as maintaining a regular exercise program.

Possibly the most publicized phytochemical in red wine is resveratrol found in the skin and seeds of red and purple grapes and dark berries like the blueberry. Having the chemical formula C14H12O3, resveratrol is chemically defined as a stilbene, viniferin or phytoalexin (a Greek-derived term meaning to “protect” (alexin) or to “ward off”).

This designation suits the function of resveratrol in the outer skin of plants as a primary fungicide and antiviral agent with potent antioxidant properties protecting against ultraviolet radiation, pests and injury. Resveratrol belongs to the general class of plant chemicals called phenolics or polyphenols, named from their composition of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in 6-carbon rings.

Benefits of Resveratrol

By consuming blue, red, purple and black-skinned plants rich in resveratrol, humans may gain these protective benefits. Early medical research proves this to be true, as resveratrol has been shown in preliminary research on experimental animals to:

• Increase blood flow and reduce the extent of brain cell damage following stroke

• Reduce the activity of brain inflammatory mediators in a model of Alzheimer’s disease

• Reduce vascular plaque formation in rats given a high-fat diet

• Improve the rate of healing in skin wounds

• Protect against lipid oxidation in a model of pancreatitis

• Protect against cellular pathology in a model of diabetic kidney disease

• Protect against liver damage in a model of cholestasis or bile duct occlusion

• Protect against cartilage deterioration in a model of osteoarthritis

• Stimulate anti-clotting mechanisms in blood

• Suppress appetite and in turn contribute to weight control or loss

• Enhance sperm production

• Inhibit formation of cataracts

• Inhibit proliferation of the herpes simplex virus

• Prolong the lives of yeast cells, worms, fish and fruit flies, possibly through mechanisms that affect aging via slowing the rate of cell death

Anti-Cancer Effect

Resveratrol’s most compelling health effect shown in laboratory studies is its broad-spectrum anti-cancer activity. The online database of medical literature for the US National Institutes of Health, PubMed, cites nearly 500 publications over the past decade of research on resveratrol as a cancer chemopreventive nutrient.

Experimental models of breast, prostate, lung, blood, skin, brain, kidney, bladder, tongue, esophagus and colon cancer show evidence for beneficial effects of resveratrol. It appears also to sensitize cells toward cancer therapy agents, improving the benefit of these drugs. Also, when combined with other plant-derived phenolics, resveratrol’s anti-cancer actions seem to be enhanced, showing the potential benefits of antioxidant synergy from a mixed diet high in colorful fruits and vegetables rich in phytochemicals.

Resveratrol’s actions to inhibit inflammatory mediators and the growth of new blood vessels in tumors (called anti-angiogenesis), plus its ability to accelerate the rate of cancer cell death (called apoptosis, “eh-po-toe-sis”), are synergistic effects in anti-cancer activity. In other experiments, resveratrol inhibited enzymes synthesizing nitro-oxygen radicals like nitric oxide that may be involved in cancer development.

To summarize, resveratrol acts against mechanisms controlling the initiation, promotion and progression of tumor cell growth in laboratory models. It is considered one of the most promising natural anti-cancer agents.

Fortunately for us, resveratrol can be easily introduced into the diet by selecting foods like:

oRed grapes and dark grape juice

oRed wines (and even white ones, but with lower resveratrol levels)

oBlackberries, blueberries, cranberries and lingonberries (and their juices)

oPistachios

oPeanuts with skins and peanut butter

Take home message: Eat berries! Drink red wine! And be merry!

Instant Skin Tightener

There have been hundreds of studies concerning resveratrol and cancer prevention, as well as treatment. Some researchers believe that it may eventually be developed into a new treatment. Others disagree. The debate is likely to drag on for years, if it is ever resolved. It is not unlike the vitamin C debate.

In the late 1980s, Linus Pauling and Abram Hoffer developed a micronutrient regimen, which included high doses of vitamin C, as complement to conventional treatment. Although it was proven to be successful, the regimen was never adopted by the mainstream medical community. Research concerning the beneficial role that high doses of intravenous vitamin C play in the treatment and outcome of surviving the disease is still ongoing, nearly 20 years later.

Extremists say that research concerning natural cures and preventative measures has been covered up by the pharmaceutical companies and even doctors. One controversial naturalist states that doctors have no interest in making us well. It would hurt their business.

Regardless of where you stand on this issue, it is safe to say that the research concerning resveratrol and cancer prevention, if not treatment, is promising. Researchers say that it interferes with all stages of the disease, from initiation to progression. Other research has focused on the benefit to the heart. The supplement has been shown to prolong the life of heart cells.

In various studies, it has been shown to extend the lifespan of short-lived worms, fruit flies and fish. In animals fed a high fat diet, it has been shown to reduce the damaging effects that the fat has on the heart and other cells of the body, reducing the risk of heart disease to that of animals eating a normal, low-fat diet.

Like the resveratrol and cancer studies, this is all referred to as “preliminary” research. The effect that a nutrient or other compound has on a cell or even an animal model cannot always be duplicated in humans. Some research indicates that supplementation would not be beneficial, because the nutrient does not enter the bloodstream. But, to include it in a totally balanced vitamin, mineral and micro-nutrient supplement definitely couldn’t hurt.

Many nutrients are changed significantly by stomach acid. If they can get past the stomach and into the upper intestine, they can pass through the intestinal wall and enter the bloodstream. The best supplements have an enteric coating, which protects these nutrients from being changed and degraded by stomach acid.

Besides the studies concerning resveratrol and cancer, there have been many other interesting ones, of late. Curcumin, green tea, grape seed and other extracts show promise.

Nearly thirty years ago, Linus Pauling told us that we could live longer and feel better, if only we would increase our daily nutritional intake. His ideas concerning supplementation were controversial, but he was a Nobel Prize winning chemist and, over the course of his life, the winner of dozens of science awards and honors.

Now that you know a little more about where research stands concerning resveratrol and cancer, you might want to learn how to choose an excellent nutritional supplement. It might be the best thing that you ever do for your health.

Look 10 Years Younger

With so many supplements out on the market it is very difficult to know which ones work and which ones are simply marketing and false promises.  It is always good to check if any clinical trials have been conducted and what the purity is of each ingredient.  Fortunately Australia has quite high standards to conform to in terms of supplements and so it is important to check that supplements have been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), the regulatory authority for all pharmaceuticals and health supplements in Australia

Resveratrol is a supplement that is show great properties for general health, anti-aging and weight loss.  However, make sure you use trans-resveratrol as this is its organic version which the body can readily absorb.

Resveratrol is naturally found in grape skin and helps partially explain the beneficial effects of red wine.  The resveratrol compound is a high potent anti-oxidant.  Anti-oxidants have been shown to absorb free radicals in the body and stop the decay of cells within the body.

Scientists have discovered some proteins which control the aging process.  Some of our genes play a key role in how our cells age.  By searching for molecules that control the aging of genes a compound was found, being Resveratrol.  Testings on rats showed that those on resveratrol lived 30% longer and had much greater health.  They were also fed higher calorie diets however did not gain extra weight.  Other scientists are suggesting that resveratrol can be used to treat diabetes and Alzheimers diesease.

Many people have also had similar success with resveratrol supplements.  In a 60 minutes special, Harvard Medical School Researcher Dr David Sinclair was interviewed over the amazing results around Resveratrol.  After his human trials on 200 people he said that resveratrol should ‘deliver at least another 10 to 15 years of robust health’. Further trials are underway, and many people wait for the results with eager anticipation as there is much promise around the anti aging supplement that is resveratrol.

Some of the companies who are offering products with Resveratrol are beginning to make claims that it is good for your heart and will over time rebuild cells. So, with the French living 25% longer than Americans, having less heart disease, is this really true?

Well, when we study the French, we see that their diet is very similar to that of Americans, high in fat and cholesterol. Research has in fact shown that Resveratrol can act as an anti inflammatory and help prevent fatty build ups in your body. This will of course mean your reduce the risk of a stroke or heart disease.

So, if the French live longer yet eat similar to the Americans, there has to be something in the claim many companies are making about Resveratrol!

Research has also shown that resveratrol can help lower your cholesterol with it’s antioxidant properties. So, when you look at all the research and the facts, it certainly appears to be the case that Resveratrol could in fact help and improve the health of your heart.

However, the main powerful substance in Resveratrol that thousands of people are putting to the test, is of course it’s ability to slow down the aging effect in humans, which in turn could lead to a longer life span.

So, although many companies claim Resveratrol is good for your heart, the main benefit people are drawn to is the anti aging effect itself.

The fact that it is a relatively new discovery means that over time we will see many more benefits appearing from it’s use. Many companies have testimonials already coming in with side effects such as softer firmer skin, signs of wrinkles disappearing, more energy, better overall health etc.

This “wonder substance” that many are calling it is found in Red Wine, but experts are of course advising against drinking too much. The French are brought up on Red Wine and have been drinking it for years, which could account for their longer life expectancy.

Now of course you can buy Resveratrol in capsule form. 300 mg a day is advised. Anything less will not give you the anti aging effect. It is also recommended you take it with other added ingredients, such as some of the “Superfoods” we now know exist. Acai, Goji, Noni etc.

When taken with these added ingredients, your body will start to recover from the many years of abuse it has been given from not just your eating habits, but also from your way of life.

Do some research online and maybe find some Resveratrol products that offer you a free trial. That way you can begin to experience the health benefits for yourself without having to pay out hundreds of dollars first.

Scientists worldwide have looked for anti-aging treatments to preserve youthful looks for years. But despite the claims of cosmetics companies and the research they support, we still don’t have any reliable cures for getting older. However, there are a number of ways to reduce the effects of aging.

One kind of anti-aging treatment involves increasing the levels of hormones responsible for growth, such as human growth hormone (HGH). Some people have found that using HGH makes people look younger, live more actively, and possibly also lose fat. Such anti-aging treatments are intended to revitalize the entire body, including your skin, bones, heart, liver, lungs and kidneys.

However, there are some evidence that anti-aging treatments using growth hormone HGH is potentially dangerous and come with some side effects. Three forms of HGH available for treatment include HGH injections, HGH oral sprays, and natural HGH supplements, also called HGH Releasers. HGH Releasers are made from fully natural ingredients with no synthetic components, and are popular because of that.

Apart from HGH treatments, a person can opt for a natural method of of anti-aging treatment by eating proper foods that help to slow down the process of aging.

Recently, scientists have made significant discoveries about the health benefits of melatonin and how it can be used for anti-aging purposes. Melatonin is a naturally occuring hormone that helps to regulate the circadian rhythm, and is found in just about all animals. To this day, however, there are no clear scientific evidence on exactly how melatonin impacts people in experiments.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is the most commonly occuring male steroid hormone; it is primarily produced in the adrenal glands, although the ovaries and testes also produce smaller quantities. DHEA can be converted by the body into both testosterone and estrogen. There has been considerable interest in DHEA recently, when reports came out that it may play a helpful role in anti-aging treatments. In human beings, the amount of DHEA present is highest around age 25, after which it decreases steadily with age. Controlled studies involving DHEA and aging have suggested that those people with higher DHEA levels tend to live longer and healthier lives than those with less amounts. Some researchers consider that to be evidence of DHEA’s ability to improve aging, although little direct evidence is available at this time.

Another ingredient that is sometimes associated with anti-aging therapies is Royal Jelly. It contains many healthy ingredients such as vitamin B, vitamins A, C, D, E and K, as well as other nutritional minerals that can aid longevity. Many people take royal jelly as a supplement in order to improve their general well being and to help restore youthfulness.

Resveratrol, a chemical compound that is often found in red wine, has been in the news lately because of its links to anti-aging treatments. In some studies, resveratrol has been demonstrated to reduce LDL oxidation and promote heart-healthy HDL levels. Recently scientists have found that Resveratrol can increase the lifespan of yeast cells by up to 80%. This study can help to explain some of the connection between moderate red wine consumption and longevity.

So how should one try to age beautifully?

Healthy eating habits are a big part of a comprehensive anti-aging program. A good balance of vitamins and minerals are needed in order for someone to stay healthy, young-looking and fit. A combination of vitamin supplements such as Vitamins A, C, and E help maintain the body’s antioxidant defenses. Higher antioxidant levels help to reduce free radicals slow down the aging process. At the same time, minerals such magnesium, calcium and selenium are also necessary as part of the regiment. These vitamins and minerals can often by found in fruits such as citrus fruits, plums, and colorful berries like blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries. A healthy diet also involves avoiding large amounts of refined sugars, complex carbohydrates, saturated fats, and alcohol. Instead, one should eat more vegetables rich in vitamin C, for example cabbage and cauliflower, all of which combine to improve the signs of aging.

A common element of successful anti-aging treatments is antioxidant activity. Studies have found that antioxidants can reduce the damage to cells in the body from free radicals. Foods such as berries, green leafy vegetables, salmon, tea, nuts, beans and whole grains are rich in antioxidants. The most chemical-free and healthy way to aging beautifully is to eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly, and think good, positive thoughts. That, in my opinion, isis the best anti-aging therapy.
