Red Wine Can Help Fight Obesity

Posted by admin | Posted in | Posted on 5:07 PM

One of the interesting findings of research on the properties of red wine are the benefits of resveratrol, a compound found largely in the skin of red grapes. He came to the attention of scientists are only four years, however, consume more than one possible explanation for the  French paradox  - the low incidence of heart disease between France, on a diet rich in fat. Today it is touted by manufacturers and scientific researchers as an antioxidant, an anti-cancer study, and phytoestrogen.

Resveratrol in wine is the length of grape skins, while the presentation of fermentation. The concentration is significantly higher than in red wine than white wine because the skin of the distance to the production of white wine, reduce the amount exported.
 A recent study on resveratrol from the National Institute on Aging study shows the Harvard Medical School that their findings could in the future to help overweight people.

To assess the effect of the molecule in mammals for the study, Dr Rafael de Cabo, the center, such as aged mice fed a diet rich in calories out, with 60 percent of calories from fat. There have been many problems with the mouse to the people of a similar plan, including obesity, insulin resistance and heart disease. The result is interesting that mice, resveratrol is not a meal to lose weight, but suffered a reduction of blood glucose, heart and show healthy tissue liver and fed to the engine performance has improved compared with mice, but no addition. They found the chemical was improving the lives of mice. Researchers believe that resveratrol reduced the risk of death in mice, approximately 31%, a point similar to the life expectancy of the standard mouse diet. The exact mechanism of the chemical industry is still unknown, but researchers believe it may be a gene called SIRT1, which activates a family of proteins associated with longevity, as well.

The reactions of the scientific world in the study are positive. Professor Peter Rabinovitch, University of Washington, proposed that  the next step for researchers will be the effects of chemicals on humans. Professor Steve Bloom, head of obesity research group at Imperial College London, United Kingdom,  the study, said:  When we talk about the idea out there an evolutionary advantage in life expectancy of each species and the abundance or scarcity of food in the box. This document is very interesting - could be the year of achievement with enormous potential to treat them.
