Resveratrol: Longevity *

Do we get sick as we get old or vice versa?
 

We are so used to believing that old-age does not come alone but accompanied by many illnesses, the result being that people don’t die out of old age, but out of the ignorance caused by the surrounding belief systems ingrained in our subconscious.
Yet it is possible to have an active DNA and live as much as three times as we have been led to believe we can.

Resveratrol, a blessing in itself is around to prove to us once again that mother nature is the 

source of all medicine. 

A polyphenol, produced by some plants in response to environmental stress, ultraviolet radiation, injury or fungal infection . An amazing Antioxidant found mainly in the skin of dark colored grapes is a powerful ally to DNA repair by neutralizing cell-damaging free radicals-the cause of premature aging.
Lifespan depends on the maximum efficient working of our DNA and Resveratrol assists in longevity by working at the lever of our cells fighting degenerative/age-related diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer. 

It activates the specific enzymes which, in turn, improve the efficiency and increase the numbers of mitochondria in the body’s cells. Those are activated to repair any damages on cell DNA making sure that genes which should be silent remain suppressed, while longevity genes are being activated.

Lets simplify things, here's a short list of the too many to mention benefits of Resveratrol.

~Increased Endurance:  Mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells
~Cardiovascular health
~Osteoporosis: improves bone structure and function
~Diabetes: improves insulin sensitivity in people with type two diabetes
~Weight loss
~Macular degeneration: protects the eyes especially in cases of blindness in seniors
~Brain injuries: assists the recovery of increasing plasticity and memory.
~Inflammation
~Decreases the risk of stroke
~Depression -Increases serotonin levels in the brain.
~Life extension: in general

Its important to mention Resveratrol as being a very powerful anti-neurodegenerator, only to make us wonder why it’s not being used in prevention and medical treatment of dementia (neurodegeneration) when the numbers of sufferers are rising to double and triple every year, while the cost of chemical treatment skyrockets in over 800 billion euro worldwide. A fact proving that Alzheimer's disease and other dementias have reached beyond just being health issues into becoming a social crisis of the 21st century.

This is a wake-up call that the so far believed elements accompanying aging CAN be reversed. We are being controlled by a worldwide spread of ignorance of the simple and least expensive ways to help our body work more efficiently because it has the innate memory to do so.

Other nutritional sources of Resveratrol besides dark noir-grapes are: Red Grapes, Red Wine, Dark Chocolate, Blackberries, Blueberries, Cranberries, Bilberries, Acai-berries, Noni-berries, all in varying degrees. Content in strawberries is found in the seeds not the pulp, peanuts also contain Resveratrol. Note that Resveratrol content is high only when the source is as close to its natural state as possible.

Of course in cases of increased need, the nutritional sources will not be enough and a boost of extra highly absorbable supplementation is definitely needed.
In such case my personal *High-Five* goes to SOLGAR’S Resveratrol 500 mg vegetable capsules.
Another personal favorite which I highly recommend is a romantic little snack consisting of blackberries with dark high cocoa content chocolate.. just simply divine!

While Science is still in the long process of determining the exact role that longevity genes play in the human body,and who knows under what circumstances information will reach surface, let us just keep enjoying the full benefits of Resveratrol.
For those needing further detailed readings, scientific studies and blah blah blah, you can google some more or visit resveratrol.com

~ A tip to always remember : *we get old once we stop growing older*

 ...So, expand yourself, grow your awareness older reaching beyond limiting beliefs and allow the gifts of nature to do the job they were meant for.
