Red wine is good for you health...WOW did you know this?  |
| |
|  A recent breakthrough has shown that resveratrol (a red wine extract) seems to improve life span 15-20%, by making obese mice virtually as healthy as normal mice. It seems that it also has preventative effects agains diabetes and prevents organ damange.
These effects were recently observed in mice, and published in Nature. However the team from Harvard that published this study started with work in yeast, then fruitflies and worms, which all seem to have the same effect. So it seems virtually impossible that a simular effect wont be found in humans.
Resveratrol is involved in increasing the expression of a gene involved in mitrochondrial development that has been previously linked to lifespan.
But don't start drinking too much red wine. These mice were given the equavalent of 100 bottles of wine resveratrol a day!!
Huge amounts of a red wine extract seemed to help obese mice eat a high-fat diet and still live a long and healthy life, suggests a new study that some experts are calling "landmark" research.
The big question is: Can it work the same magic in humans?
Resveratol has been in the media alot in the past 10 years with claims for and against, but nothing nearly as substantial as this.

| |  I have heard this numerous times on the news before but am not sure whether I believe them or not. I like red wine and have it once in a while. Drinking too much of anything is not healthy. That would be great if it does help or anything else that can help us stay healthy.

| | According to the latest research there is a definate effect on health by drinking moderate quantities of red wine. Its mostly contributed by the antioxidants in the red wine. The area is being researched fiercely by many top universities, and this already should tell you that they possibly have something there thats true! | | | |

| |  I have heard a glass of red wine a day is good for us. They say it is good if you have a heart problem and quite a few other ailments. I think it has to be in moderation though!

| | Thanks for your comments. Yes red wine has been considered the main reason behind the "French Paradox", as the french does not really eat that healthy, lots of red meat and saturated fats in their diet, but still they have a significantly low incidence of cardiovascular disease. Resveratrol is just one of the compounds in red wine that is considered to contribute to this health esseft in red wine. | | | |

| |  Great post and comments! I keep hearing about more and more research on this topic. It's too bad that the same isn't true of white wine- then I could justify a glass or two every night! I used to drink red wine, but every time I have even a small glass I get an almost immediate headache; I would expect this if I overindulged, but this occurs with one glass. The other thing about red vs. white wine is that red seem to stain the teeth terribly- my dentist told me that a few years ago.

| |  Hi
Yes it is a fact!!
Red Wine is good for you!
At least one glass a day is, not a whole lot of it!!
To much and all you get is a headache!!
But a little bit each day is supposed to be good for the heart!
