The benefits of resveratrol are discussed below, including the possible breakthrough in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It seems that many people want to live longer and want to be vital in the process.
As a former
Olympic athlete
, from a very young age, I always told people that I wanted to live until the age of 150. Somewhere deep down inside I felt that the way we aged was just not right.
Now that I am in my forties, I feel just the same as when I was in my twenties, and yet, I see my body aging every day. I must admit that as a former Olympian my body still looks great, but I wonder if I could be doing something for it to remain as vital as I feel.
Now, I have some exciting news to share. I am always on the look-out for anti aging products of the highest quality, and on this page I present some of the known benefits of resveratrol.
Increased Endurance
As a former athlete, the ability to workout everyday is near and dear to my heart, and I want to be able to do that well into my old age. Resevertrol appears to be making that a great possibility.
In a study of rats, resveratrol was given to a group of rats that were then made to run up a treadmill. A number of interesting findings occurred including, the rats that were given resveratrol, behaved as if they were years younger with an increase in endurance, they lost weight, and remained more vital, all of this despite the fact that all the rats remained on a fatty diet.
Diseases of Aging Gone
Reveratrol, an anti aging component, seeks out a gene that controls the aging process, which is called Sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), and turns it on. When this gene was activated, the mice in the study while on the high fat diet did not get the typical diseases of aging like cancer, heart disease and osteoporosis, because they were behaving as if they were lean fit mice. Humans have the exact same gene as those found in mice, and the possibilities seem promising.
Type 2 Diabetes breakthrough
This disease occurs when the body no longer produces insulin at levels sufficient to control blood sugar. Imagine eating a donut, and then immediately breaking out into a heavy rain drenching sweat as the body tries to eliminate the excess sugar that is now flooding the blood stream. It is the role of insulin to regulate how much sugar enters the blood stream.
The benefits of resveratrol were numerous that it was used in one of the first human trials with subjects that had type 2 diabetes. The trial was successful in treating type 2 diabetes that the company hopes to have FDA approval in about five years.
Resveratrol Supplementation
Finally, when I heard that grape skin contained a component called resveratrol that was a powerful anti-aging component, I like most people began to drink red wine. However, as an athlete, I was also concerned about my liver, and what prolonged use of red wine might do over time, especially since I wanted to live to a ripe old age.
It turns out that in order to derive the benefits of resveratrol found in red wine, you would have to drink hundreds if not thousands of bottles a day. Well, that certainly did not seem worth it. However, resveratrol supplementation of about 500mg/day is believed to be sufficient to begin on your anti-aging regimen.
