In this video I’m going to share the leading resveratrol benefits and what this substance really is. Resveratrol is apart of a plant compound known as polyphenols. Polyphenols are a kind of chemical that in theory may protect against some health problems and possibly certain aging effects.

It was uncovered in 1939 by a Japanese man named Gao Gang. It wasn’t until the 1970’s when scientists really started to look at this plant for health benefits, after discovering grape vines produced this stuff after getting infected with a fungus.

In 2003 this herb really started to get noticed after Sinclair and Howitz revealed that it could extend the life of yeast by around 70%. Other studies have shown it to enable worms and flies by 30% and can extend the life of fish by around 60%. One of the theories on how it does this is by activating the SIRT 1 gene. Once this gene is activated it creates proteins that protect cells from inflammation and oxidative stress, both which contribute to premature aging. The bad news is that it hasn’t been proven to affect humans, but there is a really good chance that it can.

Another really interesting thing that resveratrol may be able to do is help fight off cancer. Cancer has to do with a damaged cell and resveratrol has the ability to prevent free radical and inflammatory damage to a cell, which could prevent this disease. Even better news is that it could fight off cancer if someone has it. In a study at the University of Missouri 44 percent of melanoma cancer cells where destroyed by the treatment of cancer.

Another really cool thing that this nutrient can do is help with heart disease. There was a clinical study published in the April article of The American Journal of Cardiology involving 74 people and dividing them into groups that took a placebo pill, resveratrol and grape seed extract with no resveratrol. The result was that at the end of 12 months the group that took resveratrol experienced a significant decline in inflammation, as well as something known as PAI-1, which reduces the chance of blood clotting and that reduces the chance of heart disease. Since resveratrol directly impacts cells the benefits don’t stop there because it could affect skin cells, the immune system, vision, mental sharpness and even endurance.

To sum everything the 3 leading resveratrol benefits include enabling someone to live longer, fighting off cancer and preventing heart disease.
