Could Resveratrol Put Death On Hold?

Resveratrol was first study 17 years ago by scientific of the Harvard University. The reason therefore was the so called French paradox… The French paradox suggested that the French despite the high fat diet and high consumption of wine have a remarkable low incidence of hearth diseases compare to the rest of the world.

Most researchers agree that there is something in the red wine that offers protection and a few years later even the highly cautious federal dietary guideline say that reserved consumption of red wine can be beneficial for the health

Now scientific across the world have discovered resveratrol, the substance in red wine.

They think that resveratrol might do more then look after the heart. They agree that resveratrol in very high concentration can significantly extend life by preventing a number of age related illnesses. If the scientific are right we all may soon be taken a pill that gives us an extra decade of two of healthy old age. A simple pill that just might beat the clock and put death on hold.

If the promise hold trough it could be the chance to change health care. The scientific shows that they could make yeast lives longer, but yeast is a more simple form of life then human beings. Human beings are more complicated. So they decide to focus on the gene that is present in almost every life form “the sirtuin gene” The sirtuin gene is usually not active but when it is working, it trigger a survival mechanism that extend life. Convince that something in nature could activated that gene they randomly tested thousands of compounds and bingo they discover it, “resveratol”.

Red wine is loaded with resveratrol.

It’s found in high concentration in the skin of the grapes and seems to play an important role in protecting the grapes from invading bacteria and fungi.
The link was made and that was the potential explanation for the benefits of red wine.

The important news is not that something was found in red wine.  The most important thing is that these scientific has passed a point where they could now make a drug based on this knowledge and can likely slow down the aging process.

Everyone from doctors to the sales man of healthy supplements has been promising a ticket to extend youth for sometimes. So a drug based on Resveratrol that could activate this sirtuin gene sounds too good to be true.

The spokesman of this scientific state, “Our goal is to forestall and prevent many of the diseases that strike us as we becoming older. All with one pill.” He thinks that in the near future that it will be possible to slow down the genes that control the aging process and that they are heading in the right direction.
