Now, I was never a big fan of wine, any types, it never really excited or relaxed me in any way, however all of that has changed in the last few years. I now religiously have a glass of the red variety with my evening meal..every day. What was the reason for this change?
It has many important health benefits that include protection against the risk of blood clots, stroke and cardiovascular disease as well as being a cancer preventative.
So, what foods do you need to include in your diet to be getting good amounts of it.
- Blueberries
- Bilberries
- Raspberries
- Mulberries
- Peanuts
You will find that it is quite concentrated in full-bodied wines (as mentioned above).
Yes, you did see peanuts listed! A really unusual source of resveratrol. I bet you didn't know that 1 ounce of these legumes contains around 73 micrograms of the stuff, which is equivalent to nearly 2 pounds of grapes.
Ever heard of the French Paradox? It's so unfair that our French friends can chomp heaps of butter, cream and lard, and gorge on cuisine loaded with culinary taboos, yet they die of heart disease two and a half times less often than North Americans do.
A recent Harvard School Medical Lab found that one certain magical flavonoid, namely resveratrol, has the ability to lower blood sugar levels (good for diabetes) and boost liver function. In fact some very lucky mice had their longevity increased by 31 percent, thanks to this flavonoid.
Also it can protect against weight gain and boost endurance. The reason for this is that resvetarol seems to improve the functioning of something called mitochondria..tiny power plants inside every cell in your body.
The University of Virginia did a study and discovered that resveratrol literally starved cancer cells by interfering with a particular protein called nuclear factor-kappa B that helps feed them.

Resveratrol Health Benefits..What Is The Best Anti Aging Wine?
Go for Pinor Noir from California. So says researchers at the University of Mississippi. They tested 11 wines and found it had the most resveratrol.
Got a cold or flu? Fill your glass with red wine instead of juice. A recent study in Rome found that the polyphenol (resveratrol) in it actually stopped influenza cells from replicating.
Small caveat..drink your wine in moderation as high alcohol intake could have bad effects on your health such as raised blood pressure.
