Resveratrol: Red Wine Antioxidant for Health – WebMD

Posted on by

Resveratrol is a natural chemical compound found in grapes, red wine, and other foods. As a supplement, resveratrol has been promoted as a treatment for many conditions -- including aging itself.

Researchers have long believed that substances in red wine might have health benefits. Drinking red wine in moderation may be associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Beginning in the 1990s, experts began to focus on resveratrol, an antioxidant compound in red wine. Since then, some animal and lab studies have shown that resveratrol has promising antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer effects.

However, resveratrol supplements have not been well studied in people. We don't really know what benefits and risks they might have. We also don't know if resveratrol is necessarily more important than some of the other natural substances in wine.

Nonetheless, resveratrol has become a popular supplement. People use it for many different conditions. Some take resveratrol supplements to try to prevent or treat serious diseases, like cancer or heart disease. Others hope that they will slow the aging process. For now, these uses are unsupported by evidence.

Resveratrol is an unproven treatment and there is no standard dose. Some estimates of doses come from preliminary research studies. Ask your health care provider for advice.

Resveratrol occurs naturally in red wine, red grape skins, grape juice, peanuts, mulberries, and some Chinese herbs.

Some people wonder if they should drink more red wine because of the possible health benefits of resveratrol. However, most experts and organizations like the American Heart Association still suggest limiting alcoholic drinks to one per day for women and two for men. Four ounces of red wine equals one drink. Other forms of alcohol do not have resveratrol.

Given the lack of evidence about their safety, resveratrol supplements are not recommended for children or for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Diabetes (4 Types) and Thyroid Health

Posted on by

Published January 15 2018

According to the World Health Organization, the number of people with diabetes has risen from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014 (1). The disease especially has a high prevalence in the Western countries, and it has been linked extensively with heart attacks, strokes, high blood pressure, kidney failure, and blindness. For this reason, a lot of research has gone into the disease progression and treatment options available for diabetes. In this article Im going to discuss four different types of diabetes, along with some of the natural treatment options available. Then towards the end of this article Ill discuss how each type relates to thyroid health.

Before discussing the different types of diabetes, Id like to answer the question why is there an increased prevalence of diabetes? Although genetics is a factor in the development of the different types of diabetes, the main reason why there has been an increased prevalence is due to poor diet, along with other lifestyle factors. This is especially true with type 2 diabetes, but it is also a factor in the other types of diabetes as well.

Lets go ahead and look at the different types of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition that involves the immune system attacking the pancreas. Beta cells are destroyed in the pancreas, and these beta cells are responsible for the production of insulin. Insulin is involved in the regulation of blood glucose levels. Consequently, there isnt a way for glucose in the blood to enter the cells without insulin, resulting in high blood sugar. Adolescents typically develop this type, which is why type 1 diabetes once was referred to as juvenile diabetes. However, adults can also develop type 1 diabetes, although many times they actually have type 1.5 diabetes, which Ill discuss later in this article.

Potential Causes of Type 1 Diabetes

Just as is the case with other autoimmune conditions, genetics plays a role in the development of type 1 diabetes. Some children who are born with a particular genotype variation with a family history of the disease have a 1 in 5 chance of developing this condition (2). Interestingly, more than 85 percent of children who have type 1 diabetes dont have a family history (2). Just as is the case with Hashimotos thyroiditis and Graves disease, we can t change the genetics of those with type 1 diabetes, but we can modify diet and lifestyle factors, which can have a huge impact.

In the past I wrote a blog post where I discussed the triad of autoimmunity. This is also known as the 3-legged stool of autoimmunity, and according to this triad, the development of any autoimmune condition requires the following three components: 1) a genetic predisposition, 2) an environmental trigger, and 3) a leaky gut. And while the damage to the beta cells supposedly cant be reversed, in type 1 diabetes the goal still should be to find and remove the environmental triggers and heal the gut. This of course is true will all autoimmune conditions, including Graves disease and Hashimotos.

Diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes

The diagnosis of type 1 diabetes is usually based on a persons symptoms and blood tests. Some of the common symptoms patients with type 1 diabetes experience include excessive thirst, hunger, blurry vision, lethargy, and weight loss. These symptoms occur because since insulin isnt available to shuttle glucose into cells, they are left without an immediate source of energy.

Laboratory tests involve testing fasting blood sugar, glycosylated hemoglobin (A1C), and an oral glucose tolerance test. Its also a good idea to test for fasting insulin. These tests will usually be conducted initially. C-peptide is a 31 amino acid peptide that can also provide some valuable information, and it is more reliable than insulin as a measure of endogenous insulin secretion (3). In type 1 diabetes we would expect the C-peptide levels to be low, while someone with type 2 diabetes will usually have normal or high levels of C-peptide.

As is the case with other autoimmune conditions, it is also possible to test for autoantibodies. These include antibodies to insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and protein tyrosine phosphatase (IA2). These antibodies can be tested at most labs, including Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics.

Conventional Treatment Options For Type 1 Diabetes

Conventional treatment options usually involve providing dose-dependent amounts of insulin the patient has to take at regular intervals. Even though type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition, conventional medical treatment doesnt do anything to improve the health of the persons immune system.

Natural Treatment Options For Type 1 Diabetes

Although there is no cure for type 1 diabetes, the overall goal should be to improve the health of the persons immune system. This involves removing any environmental triggers and healing the gut. Even though the person with type 1 diabetes might need to take insulin, its important to keep in mind that someone with one autoimmune condition is more likely to develop other autoimmune conditions in the future. Improving the health of the persons immune system will decrease the chances of other autoimmune conditions developing in the future. In addition, it might slow down or prevent further damage to the beta cells of the pancreas, which means that the person wont need to take as high of a dosage of insulin.

Curcumin. This is a potent natural treatment option for type 1 diabetes. This is the compound that gives turmeric its orange-yellow color. One study showed that curcumin helps to reduce the release of proinflammatory cytokines and suppresses T cell activity (T cells aid in the destruction of insulin-producing beta cells) (4). Some patients with type 1 diabetes have also used curcumin supplements help control high blood sugar. Another study I came across showed that both curcumin and resveratrol can enhance the function of the pancreatic beta cells (5).

Gymnema sylvestre. This herb has been shown to cause insulin secretion from the beta cells, and might even help with beta cell regeneration (6) (7). This isnt to suggest that taking gymnema will reverse type 1 diabetes, but taking 500 to 1,000 mg/day might help with insulin secretion.

Type 2 diabetes doesnt involve an autoimmune component, although it does alter the way glucose is used in the body. This condition is characterized by either a lack of insulin, or the bodys inability to use insulin efficiently, the latter which causes a state known as insulin resistance. Either way, the person with type 2 diabetes will have high blood glucose levels. About 90 % of people who have diabetes have type 2 diabetes (8).

Potential Causes

Although genetics can play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes, lifestyle and environment seem to be much greater factors. Obesity, weight gain, smoking, and physical inactivity are all risk factors (9).

Its also worth mentioning that pregnant women can develop gestational diabetes, which is the most common medical complication of pregnancy (10). Dietary changes and exercise usually are recommended initially, although oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin may be given if the blood sugar levels remain high. Gestational diabetes is similar to type 2 diabetes, but usually resolves itself after the woman gives birth. However, women who develop gestational diabetes are often at greater risk for developing diabetes later on.

Diagnosis

Just as is the case with the other types of diabetes, the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes involves analyzing the patients symptoms and ordering specific tests. In the beginning stages the person might not experience any obvious symptoms, and so its commonly found during routine testing. For example, someone might obtain a fasting glucose as part of a routine physical, and upon seeing this value elevated the doctor orders additional tests, such as the hemoglobin A1C and the oral glucose tolerance tests. If the blood sugar levels remain continuously high then the person may experience symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, nausea, and dizziness.

Conventional Treatment Options For Type 2 Diabetes

Depending on the severity of the patients condition, some medical doctors will initially recommend diet and lifestyle changes without giving medication. Speaking of medication, metformin is an anti-hyperglycemic drug, and it usually is the first line of therapy recommended to those who have type 2 diabetes. The main way it helps those with type 2 diabetes is by greatly decreasing glucose production in the liver (11). There is also evidence that metformin can help to restore ovarian function in PCOS, reduce fatty liver, and to lower microvascular and macrovascular complications associated with type 2 diabetes (11). However, there is evidence that long-term use of metformin can cause a vitamin B12 deficiency and anemia (12).

In some severe cases of type 2 diabetes the person may need to take insulin. But usually this is a last resort, and many people do fine taking metformin. Of course the overall goal should be to improve the health of the individual so that they hopefully wont need to take metformin or insulin, at least not for a prolonged period of time.

Natural Treatment Options For Type 2 Diabetes

Eating well and exercising regularly can help with many different health conditions, and without question this includes type 2 diabetes. With regards to diet, eating a standard Paleo or autoimmune Paleo diet can help, although some healthcare professionals recommend a ketogenic diet for type 2 diabetes. This involves a diet that is high in fat and low in carbohydrates, and the body converts the fat into energy instead of the carbohydrates.

Ketosis vs. Ketoacidosis

When talking about a ketogenic diet, some people get concerned about diabetic ketoacidosis. This is a serious complication of diabetes, and it occurs when there are very high levels of ketones in the body. This is more common in those people with type 1 diabetes, although it can also affect those with type 2 diabetes who dont properly manage their health. Ketoacidosis happens when your body is unable to produce enough insulin, and some of the symptoms include frequent urination, excessive thirst, nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain, weakness or fatigue, and/or shortness of breath (13). In addition, the person will usually have high blood sugar levels and high ketone levels in the urine.

How does this differ from ketosis? Ketosis is considered to be a mild form of ketoacidosis. When someone is eating a lower amount of carbohydrates and is eating a good amount of healthy fats (i.e. avocados, coconut oil, fatty fish) their body will create ketones. With the ketogenic diet the body is essentially using fat for energy instead of glucose.

Berberine. I mentioned how metformin is the most common conventional medical treatment for type 2 diabetes. For those who are looking for a natural option, berberine is something to consider taking. Berberine is an isoquinoline derivative alkaloid isolated from the herb Rhizoma Coptidis, and it has anti-hyperglycemic properties (14). Not only is berberine a potent oral hypoglycemic agent, but it also has beneficial effects on lipid metabolism (15). In other words, berberine not only can help to lower fasting glucose and hemoglobin A1C levels, but can also help lower total cholesterol and LDL.

Chromium. A few studies have shown that chromium can benefit those with type 2 diabetes by helping with glycemic control and increasing insulin sensitivity (16) (17) (18).

Magnesium. Intracellular magnesium plays a key role in regulating insulin action, and oral magnesium supplementation can have beneficial effects on blood glucose levels (19) (20).

Fish oils. Fish oil supplementation is a natural treatment option for patients with type 2 diabetes. One study has shown that the omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil can help improve insulin sensitivity (21).

Cinnamon. Research has demonstrated that patients taking oral cinnamon daily reduced their blood glucose and triglyceride levels (22). As for conventional treatment, patients are often started off with metformin, which increases insulin sensitivity.

Exercise. While eating well and taking nutritional supplements can decrease insulin resistance associated with type 2 diabetes, studies also show that exercise can help to increase insulin sensitivity (23) (24).

Type 1.5 diabetes, also known as latent autoimmune diabetes of adulthood (LADA), has characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is similar to type 2 diabetes in that 1) it is diagnosed during adulthood, and 2) has a slow onset. However, it is similar to type 1 diabetes in that the person has autoantibodies that damage the beta cells of the pancreas, and as a result, insulin therapy will eventually be required. Type 1.5 diabetes accounts for 2%-12% of all cases of diabetes (25).

What frequently happens is that someone is mistakenly diagnosed as having type 2 diabetes, and as a result may be put on an oral hypoglycemic agent such as metformin. But while this can greatly help someone with type 2 diabetes, type 1.5 involves destruction to the beta cells of the pancreas, and so eventually the person will become insulin dependent.

Potential Causes

Type 1.5 diabetes is often a result of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors.

Diagnosis

In addition to screening the person for blood sugar imbalances (i.e. fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1C), autoantibody tests can be ordered. This includes antibodies to insulin, glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and protein tyrosine phosphatase . The most common autoantibody present is GAD, and this usually results in a slower destruction of the beta cells than other types of antibodies.

LADA has also been sub-classified as type I and II. Patients with higher GAD antibody (GADA) levels are classified as LADA 1, and are more similar to type 1 diabetics, while patients with lower levels of GADA are classified as LAD2, and are more similar to type 2 diabetics (26).

C-peptide might also play a role in the early detection of those with type 1.5 diabetes. I mentioned C-peptide earlier, and discussed how it is usually low in type 1 diabetics, while in those with type 2 diabetes it is usually high or normal. It seems that those with type 1.5 diabetes have normal or decreased C-peptide levels, and so if someone has elevated levels of C-peptide this would rule out type 1.5 diabetes (27).

Conventional Treatment Options For Type 1.5 Diabetes

The treatment of patients with type 1.5 diabetes can be complex. Insulin therapy is typically used to help delay the onset of islet cell failure. Sometimes oral hypoglycemic agents (i.e. metformin) will also be administered. Just as is the case with type 1 diabetes, nothing is done to improve the health of the immune system from a conventional medical standpoint.

Natural Treatment Options For Type 1.5 Diabetes

As for natural treatment options, agents that can lower blood glucose levels and increase insulin sensitivity can be taken. I mentioned some of these earlier, including berberine, chromium, magnesium, and alpha lipoic acid. However, just as is the case with type 1 diabetes, with type 1.5 diabetes the autoimmune component also needs to be addressed. In other words, the environmental triggers need to be detected and removed, and the leaky gut needs to be healed.

Some researchers label Alzheimers disease as being a neuroendocrine disease, and the reason for this is because of the shared molecular and cellular features among type 1 and type 2 diabetes associated with memory deficits and cognitive decline in the elderly (28). As a result, many refer to Alzheimers as being type 3 diabetes.

Because glucose is the primary fuel for the brain, if someone has problems with the uptake and utilization of glucose, then this can essentially cause the brain to starve. This in turn can cause oxidative stress, impairments in homeostasis, and increased cell death (29). The inhibition of insulin/ insulin-like growth factor (IGF) signaling mediates Alzheimers disease neurodegeneration (29). In other words, chronic deficits in insulin can lead to the development of Alzheimers disease, which has characteristics of insulin deficiency that is associated with type 1 diabetes, as well as insulin resistance that is more characteristic of type 2 diabetes. Its also worth mentioning that amyloid beta protein deposits on the pancreas in patients with type 2 diabetes are similar to the protein deposits that occur in the brain in type 3 diabetes (30).

Causes

As mentioned previously, issues with insulin and IGF are contributors to type 3 diabetes progression. Although Alzheimers disease has characteristics of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the research shows that people who have type 2 diabetes are at increased risk for developing Alzheimers disease (30). In fact, those with type 2 diabetes have almost twice the risk of developing Alzheimers when compared to those who only have insulin resistance.

Conventional Treatment Options For Type 3 Diabetes

Although most medical doctors dont recognize Alzheimers disease itself as being a type of diabetes, keep in mind that many of these people will be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. As a result, some people with Alzheimers will be given dietary and lifestyle advice, along with medications to lower blood glucose such as metformin. However, drugs are also commonly given to treat the cognitive symptoms, such as memory loss. These drugs include cholinesterase inhibitors (Aricept, Exelon, Razadyne) and memantine (Namenda).

Natural Treatment Options For Type 3 Diabetes

If Alzheimers disease is indeed a form of diabetes, then it makes sense to do what is necessary to lower and stabilize blood sugar levels. As I mentioned earlier in this article, this should be addressed through dietary and lifestyle factors, although nutritional supplements can also be of benefit. Here are a few nutrients/herbs that have been shown in the research to benefit those with Alzheimers disease:

Gingko. A few different studies show that Ginkgo biloba has neuroprotective properties, and might play a role in the treatment and prevention of Alzheimers disease (31) (32).

Bacopa. A few studies show that Bacopa monnieri can enhance cognition and has neuroprotective effects against Alzheimers disease (33) (34).

Curcumin. Curcumin has many different health benefits, and this includes helping people with Alzheimers by inhibiting the formation and promoting the disaggregation of amyloid-B plaques (35) (36).

Resveratrol. Like turmeric, resveratrol has many different health benefits, and it also seems to have neuroprotective benefits in animal models of Alzheimers disease (37) (38).

Green tea. Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (EGCG), is the main and most significantly bioactive polyphenol found in solid green tea extract, and there are a few studies demonstrating the beneficial effects of EGCG in the treatment of Alzheimers disease (39) (40).

Vitamin D. Human studies strongly support a correlation between low levels of vitamin D and cognitive impairment or dementia, and it might play a role in preventing and even stopping neurogeneration in those with Alzheimers disease (41) (42).

Fish oils. Patients with Alzheimers have been shown to have lower docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) levels, and supplementation with DHA might help to prevent or delay the onset of cognitive decline associated with Alzheimers disease (43) (44).

How Do These Diabetic Conditions Relate To Thyroid Health?

Type 1 Diabetes. Those with one autoimmune condition have a greater risk of developing another autoimmune condition in the future. And there seems to be a higher prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity in those with type 1 diabetes. One cross-sectional study confirmed that there is an association between thyroid autoimmunity and type 1 diabetes (45). Out of 58 patients, 18 had hypothyroidism, with only one patient experiencing transient hyperthyroidism. Another study involving 1,304 patients showed that the incidence of autoimmune thyroid disease is high (46). Another study involving children and adolescents showed a high prevalence of subclinical hypothyroidism (47).

Type 1.5 Diabetes. Since type 1.5 diabetes also has an autoimmune component, it shouldnt be surprising that the research shows an increase prevalence of thyroid autoimmunity with this condition. One study investigated the relationship between type 1.5 diabetes and thyroid autoimmunity, and it found that there is a higher risk of thyroid autoimmunity, especially for those with higher levels of GAD antibodies (48). Another study revealed higher levels of both thyroid peroxidase and thyroglobulin antibodies in those with type 1.5 diabetes (49). I wasnt able to find any evidence that showed an increase in Graves disease antibodies in those with type 1.5 diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes. Although type 2 diabetes isnt an autoimmune condition, there still seems to be a relationship between this type of diabetes and thyroid conditions. Some suggest that having a hypothyroid or hyperthyroid condition can lead to type 2 diabetes due to impaired glucose utilization and disposal in muscles, the overproduction of glucose output in the liver cells, and enhanced absorption of splanchnic glucose, which in turn contribute to insulin resistance (50). Another study looked at the association of thyroid function with the risk of type 2 diabetes, and the study showed that higher TSH levels were associated with a higher diabetes risk, even when it was within the lab reference range (51). In other words, if the TSH is within the lab reference range, but outside of the optimal range, then this might lead to an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

This doesnt mean that most people with a thyroid hormone imbalance will develop type 2 diabetes, but only that they will be more susceptible to developing this condition. The good news is that improving diet and lifestyle factors, along with correcting the thyroid hormone imbalance will greatly improve your chances of NOT developing type 2 diabetes.

Type 3 Diabetes. Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism can cause reversible dementia (52), but this doesnt mean that these conditions can cause Alzheimers disease. One study involving 1,864 people looked at the relationship of TSH levels to the risk of developing Alzheimers disease (52). Over a follow-up period of 12.7 years, women with the lowest and highest TSH levels demonstrated an increased risk of developing Alzheimers disease, but the same study showed that TSH levels were not related to Alzheimers disease in men (52).

Another study I came across looked at the relationship between thyroid hormone replacement and the development of Alzheimers disease (53). Beta amyloid plaque accumulation is a factor with Alzheimers disease, and T3 can increase the production of these plaques (53). The results suggested that taking thyroid hormone medication may be associated with a faster rate of the diagnosis of dementia related to Alzheimers disease. However, there were a few limitations to this study, and more research is needed. In addition, the same study discussed how thyroid hormones play a significant role in the production and survival of microglial cells, which help to remove beta amyloid plaque from the brain.

I realize this was a lot of information, but hopefully you have a better understanding of the different types of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common type, and unlike type 1 and 1.5 diabetes, it does not involve an autoimmune component. Many refer to Alzheimers as type 3 diabetes. The conventional approach for all of these types of diabetes is to lower blood glucose levels through diet and medication, and sometimes insulin therapy is administered, especially in type 1 and 1.5 diabetes. Natural treatment options also incorporate dietary changes, but nutritional supplements and herbs are also utilized. Plus you also need to remember to address the autoimmune component in type 1 and type 1.5 diabetes.

Diabetes (4 Types) and Thyroid Health

Berks Fitness and Nutrition Experts Weigh in on Staying Healthy at Home – bctv.org

Posted on by

Last week Governor Wolf recommended all Pennsylvanians begin to wear face masks in an effort to reduce person to person transmission of COVID-19. With the number of Coronavirus cases on the rise in Berks County and Pennsylvania, how else can we protect ourselves from COVID-19?

Is it possible to increase your health enough to improve your chances with COVID-19? There is no cure or vaccine for the novel Coronavirus. However, staying healthy is the best way to give your body a fighting chance.

As people age, their immune systems change, making it harder for their bodies to fight off diseases and infection. Who is at risk? Older adults and people who have severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease.

Stefano Sarge is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and Personal Trainer. A graduate of Governor Mifflin, Sarge is the co-founder of Ampersand Integrated Wellness, a local wellness company focusing on healthy lifestyles, managing injuries or other health related issues.

Now working from home himself, Sarge says the best way to begin an exercise routine is to get outside into nature. Its been shown and even supported with studies to help fight off anxiety and depression.

If youre just starting out, just look for things around your house says Sarge. Even if you dont have any weights you can use gallons of water. You can use broomsticks or use your couch and tables. Whatever you have, just keep it basic.

In addition to items around the house, Sarge suggests starting a daily routine of basic movements like squats, push ups, or planks. Most importantly, Sarge says this is the time to figure out what you like and dont like to do.

I would say my number one recommendation is to set up a schedule, develop a routine for yourself. The more you can make your workout consistent the easier its gonna be for you and its definitely gonna be a challenge at first.

Its not all about the workout, its also about the food you put in your body. There are no specific diets, or special foods, that will directly boost your immune system. However, eating a balanced diet and getting regular exercise will increase your overall health, and give your body a better shot at defending against diseases and illnesses.

According to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, good nutrition lowers peoples risk for many chronic diseases, including heart disease, stroke, some types of cancer, diabetes and osteoporosis. An overall healthy lifestyle must include good nutrition, regular physical activity, no smoking and stress management.

So what can you do to improve your immune system? Local certified nutrition and wellness consultant, Whitney George, fills us in. The number one thing that people can do first to improve the immune system response and function is to drop sugar from their diets.

Added sugars, refined carbohydrates, foods made out of flour, and even natural sources of sugars that are high glycemic like dried fruits, impair white blood cell function. Coinciding with the importance of sugar reduction for immune function is to increase non-starchy vegetables in the diet says George.

To maintain a balanced diet, George recommends eating 6-8 cups of non-starchy vegetables per day and 1/2-1 cup of low sugar fruits like berries, kiwi, and grapefruit.

It is from these plant foods that we get an abundance of phytonutrients like quercetin, rutin, luteolin, myricetin, resveratrol, and apigenin, which have immune strengthening properties says George.

Food sources of zinc (oysters, clams, shrimp, pumpkin seeds, liver) and vitamin C (red bell peppers, broccoli, rose hips, citrus fruits) are also imperative to support the immune response and keep it balanced and not tipping into the cytokine storm (which is the mechanism for death in those suffering from COVID pneumonia). Balancing blood sugar is key.

George also recommends pairing your non-starchy vegetables with high quality protein sources that are sustainably sourced (pasture-raised, grass-fed, wild caught) and healthy fats like extra virgin olive oil, olives, avocado, coconut, coconut oil, nuts and seeds.

With everyone staying at home, take out is also a popular choice and a good way to support local businesses. So how can you eat out and still eat right? In general, when ordering from any restaurant, it is important to stick to the basics listed above says George.

Think about a plate that is 1/2 to 3/4s non-starchy veggies, paired with a protein source that is grilled or baked, not fried, and if you want to choose a starch, try to choose a whole grain like brown or wild rice or one that is not processed like a baked sweet potato.

Society Notebook: Hearts on Ice toasts survivors, raises money for research and prevention – Press Herald

Posted on by

At the American Heart Associations Hearts on Ice fundraiser Jan. 17 at Aura in Portland, more than a dozen heart attack and stroke survivors, wearing light-up red heart necklaces, were the toast of the party.

Among them was Monica Salamone, who experienced a life-threatening aortic dissection at age 34, weeks after giving birth to her second son. Nearly 10 years (or 3,345 bonus days) later, and now a radiologic technologist in the cardiac catheterization lab at Maine Medical Center, Salamone toasted to all survivors in the room.

My heart is full for the life Ive been gifted, she said.

Also wearing a flashy heart necklace wasAshley Deeb, who was 21 when she went into heart failure from a previously undetected congenital heart defect.

People think heart disease only impacts a certain person of a certain age, Deeb said. I started having symptoms as a child but was too afraid to speak up. I want people, particularly those who think there might be something wrong but are too afraid to say anything, to feel confident and comfortable doing so.

Jack Lufkin, 50, of Portland was among the survivors who trusted his gut. He didnt get on a flight in 2016 because he was having severe indigestion, which can be a symptom of a heart attack. And, in his case, it was.

I learned my symptoms from attending the Go Red luncheon about four weeks before my heart event, said Lufkin, who co-chairs the Circle of Red donors committee. Education is key, and then getting checked out.

Survivors often become active supporters, likeRobert Hatemof Scarborough, who has raised money in the Southern Maine Heart Walk all 20 years since his heart attack at age 38.

Im still ticking, he said, adding that he has a pacemaker.

More than 100 Mainers made it downtown for the event, even though Portland was cleaning up from an all-day snowstorm. Thanks to sponsors including NBT Bank, Harvard Pilgrim Health Care and Vera Roasting, live and silent auctions, and the opportunity to donate via text, the third annual Hearts on Ice raised $21,000 for heart disease and stroke prevention and research.

The American Heart Association is funding more than $1.1 million in cardiovascular research in Maine, including a study on the heart benefits of resveratrol, found in red wine, led by Maine Medical Center cardiac surgeon Michael Robich.

Without the support of the American Heart Association, my project and many others wouldnt happen, Robich said. As a physician, you can help one patient a time, but as a researcher you have potential to help thousands of patients.

The associations next major fundraiser in Maine is the Go Red for Women luncheon March 19 at Holiday Inn by the Bay.

The number of Americans drinking themselves to death has more than doubled – MarketWatch

Posted on by

Heres another reason to try a Dry January.

The number of Americans drinking themselves to death has more than doubled over the last two decades, according to a sobering new report.

Researchers from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism analyzed the death certificates of Americans ages 16 and up between 1999 and 2017. And while 35,914 deaths were alcohol-related in 1999, that number doubled to reach 72,558 in 2017. The death rate spiked 50.9% from 16.9 to 25.5 per 100,000.

In other words, alcohol was a factor in nearly 1 million deaths during that time period, with about half of these deaths resulting from liver disease, or a fatal overdose from alcohol or alcohol mixed with other drugs. In 2017 alone, 2.6% of roughly 2.8 million deaths in the United States involved alcohol.

Some groups appear to be more vulnerable than others, according to the study published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research on Wednesday. While rates of alcohol-related deaths were highest among men in general, the largest annual increase in deaths was seen among non-Hispanic white women. Indeed, a recent Columbia University study found that the greatest increases in binge drinking were reported among women ages 30 to 44 without children, although binge drinking increased among men and women overall, as well.

The death rate related to alcohol was also higher among people ages 55 and 64 in the new report, which is supported by a recent report that found that binge drinking among Americans over 50 jumped 19% between 2005 and 2014. And by ethnicity, non-Hispanic American Indians and Alaska natives had the highest alcohol-related death rates.

These startling figures probably fall short of the actual number, the researchers noted, since death certificates often fail to indicate alcohols role in mortality. (Only one in six drunk driving deaths are reported as alcohol-related, according to one study.)

Related: Why the alcohol-free movement is becoming fashionable

So whats going on?

About 70% of Americans (or 173.3 million people) consumed alcohol in 2017, averaging about two drinks a day, according to Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality data, which is a federal agency under the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

And several reports have found that were drinking more and more alcohol: A 2018 meta-analysis of six national surveys suggests that between 2000 and 2016, the prevalence of alcohol use among people aged 18 and older in the United States increased roughly 4.4%, while binge drinking (defined as four drinks in a day for women or five drinks in a day for men) jumped about 7.7%. (Blame financial worries and debt, current events or the stress of having kids for driving people to drink as well as the tendency for adults with graduate degrees to spend nine times more on booze than their less formally educated counterparts.)

Read more: Bottoms up! The real reason well-educated people spend 9x more on booze

So as people have been drinking more alcohol, researchers have seen significant increases in alcohol-related harms, according to the new report.

Indeed, the 2016 Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study, a meta-analysis of nearly 600 studies published inThe Lancetlast year,listed alcohol consumption as the seventh leading cause of deathand disability world-wide. Our results show that the safest level of drinking is none, it said. Another alarming study released last spring compared the lifetime cancer risks of drinking and smoking, and suggested that drinking one bottle of wine a week raised a womans cancer risk as much as smoking 10 cigarettes, while drinking half a bottle a day raised her risk as much as puffing 23 cigs.

Read more: Does drinking 1 bottle of wine a week raise cancer risk as much as 10 cigarettes?

Then again, there has also been researchlinking health benefits to moderate alcohol consumption(particularly red wine). Theres evidence that the antioxidants (aka polyphenols, and resveratrol in particular) in red wine are good for the heart. Some other research shows that moderate amounts of all types of alcohol can raise healthy cholesterol and reduce the formation of blood clots.

The bottom line: The CDC recommends drinking alcohol in moderation up to one drink a day for women, and up to two drinks a day for men and only by adults of the legal drinking age of 21. The American Cancer Society also recommends that people limit their alcohol intake to no more than two drinks a day for men, and one drink a day for women, to reduce their cancer risk. (For the record, a standard single alcoholic drink in the U.S. is measured as 12 ounces of beer; 8 to 9 ounces of malt liquor; 5 ounces of wine; and a 1.5-ounce shot of 80-proof distilled spirits or liquor, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.)

However, pregnant women, people with certain medical conditions, and people taking certain prescription or over-the-counter medications that can interact with alcohol, should probably abstain, per the 20152020Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Check with your doctor.

Two glasses of champagne toasting in the nigh with lights bokeh, glitter and sparks on the ... [+] background

Its only about a week into the new decade, new year, and well, new month, and many have already lightened up on any hard core resolutions, plans, or difficult-to-reach goals. Then there are those who made more reasonable ambitions, which are much more likely to hold fast throughout the year. Or at least month. A consideration for some is not to think about a new year or new decade (if your resolution consisted of a goal to maintain until 2030, well, hats off to you), but to think about changing something for just a month. This month. This is what some have endeavored in cutting out alcoholic beverages for the month of January, also known as Dry January.

hello january text on cup and woman drinking a coffee

While the January 1 start is arbitrary (even those who engage in Dry January may be sipping their champagne after the clock strikes midnight), the notion of a month of abstinence from alcohol, especially by those who drink regularly, is interesting from a physiologic standpoint. Such abstinence challenges are difficult to study, as is the case in any clinical research involving dietary changes. But there have been some studies in this area, even if small. A 2016 study published in Health Psychology assessed 857 British adults enrolled to forego alcohol consumption for the month of January. The authors found that those that had less drunkenness in the month prior (yes, that would be December, known to be a high-consumption month, what with both holiday festivities and sorrows abounding) had a higher likelihood of reporting abstention, and that many who reported abstention over the one month were tending to drink less alcohol in the subsequent six months.

A larger study, also out of Britain, published in 2016, looked at close to 40,000 participants over a nearly two-year period, surveying amounts of alcohol, and interest in reducing consumption. They found that the month of December had the lowest percentage of attempt to reduce or stop drinking, but January had the highest by far.

people talking toasting in a pub with the beers

Certainly there can be some clear effects from abstaining from alcohol weight loss, better sleep, and having more energy during the day. But the physiology of temporary abstinence remains a bit grayer. Another research group, also in the U.K., looked at the longer term impacts of a Dry January in 2018, surveying 800 adults. They found that, on average, they drank one day less per week in the subsequent months, even into the month of August. The subjects also reported fewer instances of inebriation in the months following one month of alcohol abstinence. Dr. Aaron White, Senior Scientific Advisor to the Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, spoke with NPR this week about how even a brief period of abstinence can help the liver. As the liver gets taxed as it metabolizes alcohol, he states that even taking a break from a...moderate level of intake leads to...some improvements in the ability of the liver to do what the liver does. This potential benefit, combined with longer term overall reduction in alcohol consumption, even without absolute abstinence, can do a liver good.

3D Illustration of Human Liver Anatomy

Over the past decade, we have learned more about potential benefits of moderate alcohol consumption, especially focused on the substance resveratrol in a daily glass of red wine. The data has been mixed on this some studies showing that it can help lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol, while others showing no direct effects. We do know that alcohol-related deaths continue to be real, responsible for 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost annually in the United States alone. According to the CDC, excess drinking is responsible for 1 in 10 deaths in adults ages 20-64 years. The costs of excess drinking are approximately $250 billion per year, or about two dollars per drink.

While Dry January may be simply a model for any lifestyle change, the concept remains interesting. Some transfer the time and money used for drinking alcohol to other endeavors hobbies, exercising, or reading, to name a few. Many have reported feeling better after a month of absence or reduction of alcohol at 100+ calories per drink, and up to 400+ calories for the sugary ones, its an easy weight loss plan, without the need for a full-on, restrictive diet. Many realize that even if they were moderate drinkers, foregoing alcohol may lead to better sleep and better daytime focus.

And when February rolls around, they may or may not want to resume prior habits, or perhaps start some new, healthier ones.

Eat These Food to Reduce Risk of Developing Ovarian Cancer – India.com

Posted on by

Ovarian cancer refers to the uncontrolled multiplication of cells in the ovary, which is a part of a womans body. Characterized by symptoms including pain in the pelvis, abdominal bloating, frequent urination, fatigue, heartburn, constipation, etc., ovarian cancer begins in the outer lining of the ovary. The disease shows no or very few signs. That is one of the reasons behind its delayed diagnosis.

According to experts in the field, having a family history of ovarian cancer, being above 50 years of age, obesity, undergoing hormone therapy, etc., can potentially increase your chances of developing ovarian cancer. There are three stages of ovarian cancer namely localized, regional, and distant.

In the first stage, cancer cells remain in ovaries or fallopian tubes, however, the second phase occurs when the cells spread to nearby organs. The third phase, distant is characterized by the spread of cancer cells in other organs like lungs or liver. Ovarian cancer can affect your life majorly. To avoid its occurrence you can take care of your daily diet.

Food plays a significant role in the prevention of various diseases and conditions including ovarian cancer. Here we tell you about a few food linked to a reduced risk of developing ovarian cancer.

Packed with fiber, essential vitamins, and phytochemicals, green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale can help you keep various types of cancers including ovarian cancer at bay. Also, consumption of these veggies can help you lose weight and say goodbye to obesity, which is a potential risk factor of ovarian cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

Containing a chemical called lycopene, tomatoes can help you reduce your likelihood of developing ovarian cancer. This chemical is known to have a strong antioxidant that prevents uncontrolled multiplication of cells. Some other food with the same effects include pink grapefruit, watermelon, etc.

They are a rich source of the antioxidant resveratrol. This actually blocks the formation of cancers in ovaries, breasts, liver, and stomach. Notably, resveratrol is mostly present in the skin of grapes. According to experts in the field, red and purple grapes contain more resveratrol than the green one.

How to Choose the Best Resveratrol Supplements (2019 Update)

Posted on by

The health industry is a somewhat interesting beast.

While the vast majority of us are fully aware of what we need to do to maintain a relatively healthy lifestyle, we still look for ways to justify some of our slightly less healthy habits such as, eating sweets, undertaking minimal exercise, and of course, drinking alcohol.

Which is why you have probably heard that not all drinking is that bad and that drinking red wine in particular may actually be beneficial for health.

Interestingly, research has suggested that this is genuinely a little more than just wishful thinking. The research has demonstrated that a specific compound found in red wine may actually be extremely beneficial for health.

And that compound?

Resveratrol.

What is Resveratrol?

Resveratrol is a rather unique plant based compound that is found naturally occurring in grapes, some berries, and peanuts (albeit in small amounts). More specifically, this compound is found in its highest concentrations in the skins and seeds of red grapes each of which play a key role in the wine fermentation process.

It is for this reason that red wine is so often considered so very good for health because as it is derived from grapes, it contains an abundance of resveratrol.

Despite being a pure plant based chemical compound, once in the body resveratrol actually acts like a potent anti-oxidant. As such, it is known to limit the oxidative damage caused by harmful free radicals in the body, which has some large implications for health.

It is important to note that for us to actually see any positive effects from resveratrol, we need to consume quite a lot of it more than what would be achievable (or healthy for that matter) if we were to only obtain it through wine.

Which is why resveratrol supplements have gained so much popularity of late.

What Are the Benefits of Taking a Resveratrol Supplement?

Resveratrol is a unique compound that has been shown to act on the body through a number of different mechanisms. Through these mechanisms, it impacts the body positively in a number of different ways, offering an excellent way to boost health and general function.

Resveratrol Supplements and Blood Pressure

Due to its action as an extremely potent antioxidant, resveratrol has been shown to cause an increased consumption of Nitric Oxide within the body. Nitric Oxide is a known vasodilator, and as such causes the walls of our veins and arteries to relax.

This actually reduces the amount of work the heart needs to do to pump blood around the body, leading to a large drop in blood pressure. This can result in a much healthier cardiovascular system, combined with an associated reduction in risk of developing heart disease [1].

Resveratrol Supplements and Blood Cholesterol

Resveratrol impacts blood cholesterol levels through two key mechanisms.

Firstly, it promotes the oxidization of LDL (or bad) cholesterol in the blood. This causes a subsequent drop in blood cholesterol levels, and a reduction in arterial plaque buildup (which is a key driver for heart disease).

Secondly, it causes an increase in blood levels of HDL (or good) cholesterol by impacting specific cholesterol producing enzymes.

Through these mechanisms, resveratrol can cause HUGE improvement in our blood cholesterol levels, leading to a large increase in cardiovascular health as a result [2].

Resveratrol Supplements and Brian Health

Combined with its antioxidant properties, resveratrol has also been shown to act as a potent natural anti-inflammatory. As a result, resveratrol has been shown to protect brain cells from oxidative and inflammatory driven damage.

With this in mind, resveratrol supplementation has been strongly recommended to reduce the risk of developing age related declines in cognitive function, while also being used to protect against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons [3].

Resveratrol Supplements and Cancer

And finally, combined with the above, there is evidence to suggest that increasing your intake of resveratrol may even assist in the prevention of cancer.

Resveratrol has been shown to interact with cancerous cells at a physiological level, by directly inhibiting their growth, and altering their gene expression.

As such, resveratrol offers an excellent option to reduce our risk of developing cancer, and may even provide an excellent addition to tradition cancer treatments [4].

Best Resveratrol Supplement Reviews

Resveratrol supplements have been increasing in popularity quite rapidly, meaning that there has been a heap of option enter the market. As a result we have gone ahead and found what we believe to be the best three Resveratrol supplements available on the market at the moment.

BRI Nutrition gives us with what is hands down the most popular resveratrol supplement on the market. Providing us with an extremely potent dosage of 1200mg of pure resveratrol per serve, it is an excellent option for those looking to boost health immediately.

While this option is slightly more expensive than many of its competitors, you can be assured that it is so popular for a reason because it works extremely well.

This resveratrol supplement by Purely Beneficial ends up being one of the most cost effective on the market, in which each serve provides us with a whopping 1450mg of resveratrol. Within this, it uses high quality ingredients that are readily absorbed into the body to maximize effectiveness.

A fantastic option for those individuals looking for a seriously good quality resveratrol supplement that wont break the bank.

aSquared Nutrition are relatively new compared to the other companies listed above, but that doesnt mean they are not effective. Their resveratrol supplement provides us with a solid dosage of 1000mg per serve, and uses extremely high quality ingredients.

This is a great option for those looking for a great quality supplement that they can implement into their regime easily and effectively.

Take-Away Message

Resveratrol is one of the most bioactive compounds on the entire planet, where it can lower blood pressure, improve blood cholesterol levels, reduce our risk of developing cancer, and even improve brain health and cognitive function.

It is for these key reasons that resveratrol makes an excellent addition to anyones supplement regime.

The three options outlined in this article are what we believe to be the three best resveratrol supplements on the market at the moment. If you have had any experience with them, we would love to hear about it, so please drop us a comment and we will get back to you ASAP.

Aside from the family and the bedroom that we look forward to when going home, sitting on a couch while drinking something gives you a sense of comfort and peace of mind. A glass of wine is one good example.

Wines, in general, are alcoholic beverages. However, unlike other liquors, they are made from natural ingredients. The main ingredient of a wine is various grape varietals planted in a specific estate. It undergoes strict cultivation and fermentation process to produce authentic taste.

Aside from the sense of comfort and relief, people are also looking forward to the health benefits that wines provide. Although wines contain alcohol, most of its ingredients have potent natural antioxidants which are beneficial to our health.

Resveratrol is one of the substances found in wine that renders many health advantages which can be found at the grapes' skin and seeds. Some common health benefits of resveratrol are reducing bad cholesterol, regulating blood pressure, protecting the brain cells from damage, just to name a few.

While there are many proven results that are already familiar to you, there are still other advantages that you might not have known. Thus, here are some other health benefits of drinking wine that may surprise you.

It may surprise you, but wines such asCabernet Sauvignon Winescan actually help control the growth of acne. Bear in mind that acne breakout is a serious problem due to hormones or poor hygiene practices. Apart from taking prescribed medications, drinking wine may also work wonders for your skin.

In some cases, wine comes a skincare agent. After sipping a glass of your favorite wine label, you can pour a few drops in a cotton ball and gently rub it all over your face. It tightens the skin of your face and controls the production of oil. In that sense, the growth of acne gets prevented, giving you a younger and fairer-looking skin.

Improving one's memory is another health benefit that wine brings. As we age and get older, we tend to lose our memory and cognitive response gets lower. It means that our ability to remember things for a long period is affected. It is why drinking a glass of wine every day can boost our memory as we get older.

According to the study, resveratrol in wine is the main antioxidantthat helps protect the brain cells from damage. It helps in lowering the sugar content in our blood that can sometimes affect the ability of our brain to grasp quick ideas. Besides, wine also helps in strengthening the brain cells to avoid any severe problems it may encounter.

However, there's always a thin line between being happy and choosing to stay positive. It may be hard to choose the latter, but wines can undoubtedly help you with that.

Drinking a glass of red wine before going to bed helps you get better sleep. When you have enough hours and better rest, your mood the next day will surely come as bright as the sunrise. Besides, sipping a glass of wine can also relieve the pressure and anxiety you feel.

5 Unknown Health Benefits of Drinking Wine - Nature World News

Resveratrol Benefits, Side Effects and Sources – Dr. Axe

Posted on by

How do the French eat more fat, sugar and rich foods, plus drink more wine, but still have less heart health issues? The answer to this puzzling question, commonly known as the french paradox, is believed to be due to a higher intake of a specific phytonutrient called resveratrol, found naturally in superfoods like red wine. Like other antioxidants and phytonutrients, such as lycopene found in tomatoes or lutein found in carrots, resveratrol is a powerful compound that regenerates the body all the way at the cellular level.

Research published over the past several decades in many medical journals, including the European Journal of Food Pharmacology andAmerican Journal of Hypertension,found that resveratrol (in this case from red wine) decreases the risk of heart disease among other common health concerns. Although he might not have known exactly how wine was able to promote better health, even Plato promoted the health perks of drinking it in moderation. Hes been quoted as saying, Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the gods to man. (1)

In case youre wondering, you dont have to be a wine drinker to benefit from resveratrol. Other sources include deeply- olored berries and real dark chocolate/cocoa. Along with helping to keep arteries clear from plaque buildup and protecting an aging heart, this phytonutrienthas many other health benefits too including reducing inflammation, potentially helping to prevent obesity and protecting cognitive health among the elderly.

Resveratrol is a polyphenic bioflavonoid antioxidant thats produced by certain plants and found in foods and drinks that are known to halt the effects of aging. Resveratrol is classified as aphytoestrogen because of its ability to interact with estrogen receptors in a positive way. Plants that produce resveratrol and other types of antioxidants actually do so partly as a protective mechanism and response to stressors within their environments, including radiation, the presence of insects or other predators, injury, and fungal infections. Today, resveratrol is believed to be one of the most potent polyphenols and strongest protectors against symptoms associated with aging andfree radical damage.

Studies show that the most naturally abundant sources of resveratrol (not to mention many other protective phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals) are plants, including the skin of red grapes, red wine, raw cocoa, and dark berries, such as lingonberries, blueberries, mulberries and bilberries. Red wine is probably the best known source, mostly due to its high levels thanks to the fermentation process that turns grape juice to alcohol. During production of red wine, grape seeds and skins ferment in the grapes juices, which have positive effects on levels and availability of resveratrol.

The benefits of resveratrol were first discovered when researchers found that yeast and other microbes, insects and animals fed resveratrol experienced an increased life span as a result. Various studies continued to confirm its amazing anti-aging benefits, demonstrated in studies conducted on fruit flies, fish, mice and nematode worms, all of which lived longer compared to control groups that were not treated with this phytonutrient.

Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals produced during everyday bodily functions, such as eating and exercise. Free radical damage is accelerated due to poor lifestyle habits like smoking, eating an unhealthy diet, and in response to environmental pollution and toxicity. If left unchecked, free radicals can damage cells and are thought to be a cause of life-threatening diseases andearlier death. Consuming plant foods high in antioxidants and phytonutrients has been shown to offer antioxidative, anticarcinogenic and antitumor benefits that protect adults from many age-related diseases. (2)

According to research published by the Department of Pharmacology at the University of Seville in Spain, One of the most striking biological activities of resveratrol soundly investigated during the late years has been its cancer-chemopreventive potential. In fact, recently it has been demonstrated that it blocks the multistep process of carcinogenesis at various stages: tumor initiation, promotion, and progression.

Its believed the mechanisms for its cancer-protecting activities involves downregulation of the inflammatory response through inhibition of synthesis and release of pro-inflammatory mediators, among other activities. (3)

Because of its anti-inflammatory activity, resveratrol has been shown to offer protection against atherosclerosis (thickening of the arteries that cuts off blood flow), high LDL bad cholesterol, formation of blood clots and myocardial infraction. Consuming more has also been shown to help improve circulation and have beneficial effects on glucose and lipid metabolism in some with higher risk for metabolic syndrome. (4)

Itadori tea, one significant source of resveratrol, has long been used in Asian countries, including Japan and China, as a traditional herbal remedy for preventing heart disease and strokes.

Resveratrol is particularly unique as its antioxidants can cross the blood-brain barrier to protect the brain and the nervous system, unlike other antioxidants. Recent studies done by researchers at the Nutrition Research Center at Northunbria University in the U.K. showed that resveratrol noticeably increased blood flow to the brain, suggesting a considerable benefit to healthy brain function and neuroprotective effects.

This means consuming more can increase protection against cognitive/mental problems, including Alzheimers, dementia and others. Other study findings, such as results published in the Journal of Agricultural Food Chemistry, demonstrated that even a single infusion of resveratrol could elicit neuroprotective effects on cerebral (brain) neuronal loss and damage. (5) This resulted from increased free radical scavenging and cerebral blood elevation due to resveratrols effects.

Findings from animal studies have found that resveratrol exerts beneficial effects on rodents fed a high-calorie diet, helping prevent fat storage and regulating insulin levels. (6) Others research has shown that resveratrol may help reduce body weight and adiposity in obese animals, which some experts believe is due to activating the SIRT1 gene thats believed to protect the body against the effects of obesity.

Its not totally clear how this translates to humans consuming foods or drinks like wine and berries, but studies have found links between adults eating balanced diets that include moderate amounts of wine and healthier body weights.

Animal studies involving diabetic rats have demonstrated that resveratrol may be able to reduce hyperglycemia and may also possibility be of use in preventing and/or treating both obesity and diabetes. Resveratrol may be helpful for those with diabetes and prediabetes byreducing complications (like nerve damage and damage to the heart) and helping manage insulin levels. Its known that this phytoestrogenpositively affects insulin secretion and blood insulin concentrations, according to animal studies. (7)

As you can tell from all the benefits described above, resveratrol and sources that provide it, including red wine, are more than just powerful heart-protectors. Theyre also strong brain-boosters, among many other things. People use resveratrol for all sorts of anti-aging benefits, considering research suggests that itcan help:

Should You Take Resveratrol Supplements?

Because the FDA does not regulate supplements, many health authorities are not convinced that taking resveratrol supplements or extract will have much payoff. As with all herbs and extracts, you cant be sure exactly what youre getting and how effective the product may be.

Dosage recommendations vary depending on your current health and symptoms, but most resveratrol supplements are typically taken in about 250 to 500 milligrams/day dosages. Its important to point out that this is generally lower than the amounts that have been shown to be beneficial in studies, but its not clear if taking very high doses is safe. Some adults choose to consume up to two grams daily (2,000 milligrams). (8) According to the New York Academy of Sciences, studies have found resveratrol to be safe and reasonably well-tolerated at doses of up to five grams per day, but this shouldnt be taken without speaking with your doctor. (9)

Its possible, however, to experience mild to moderate side effects at higher doses, so experts recommend starting with less until further studies demonstrate any added benefit of taking more. Resveratrol supplements may potentially interact with blood thinners like warfarin (Coumadin) and NSAID pain relievers (like aspirin or Advil), so be sure not to mix these.

Resveratrol works by modifying inflammation in the body, in addition to having other positive effects on hormone production, blood circulation and fat storage. Studies demonstrate that itspecifically seems to work in some of the following ways:(10)

Now you know the benefits of resveratrol in your diet, you may be wondering what the best source of this compound is. Below are the best foods and beverages to add to your diet (albeit in moderation) in order to consume more resveratrol:

Different plants supply various forms of resveratrol. For example grapes, peanuts and Itadori tea contain mainly trans-resveratrol glucosides. Red wine is primarily a source of the aglycones cis- and trans-resveratrol. Studies show that both Itadori tea and red wine supply relatively high concentrations of resveratrol compared to most other foods. Itadori tea is a good option for people who avoid drinking alcohol or for children.

Although we have mentioned that red wine and cocoa are two of the best sources of resveratrol, unfortunately a diet of dark chocolate and red wine may be decadent but ultimately very unhealthy if you overdo it. The best way to obtain the benefits of resveratrol is through balance and moderation. I recommend consuming wine in small amounts, about one glass per day or less; according to most research, up to two glasses daily for men and one per day for women hasnt been shown to cause any health concerns. If you do choose to take resveratrol supplements, still aim to consume antioxidants naturally from a healthy diet, including a variety of fresh plant foods.

While a large body of evidence has already suggested that resveratrol has many benefits, many experts feel that before we can promote drinking more wine or taking supplements to all adults, additional research is still needed. Overall theres support for itspositive attributes, but data is still needed to confirm its effectiveness for prevention of actual diseases in humans. Its still not completely known how different people react to resveratrol and if some benefit more than others. For example, people with existing cases of diabetes or metabolic defects may need to take higher doses than mostly healthy adults to get the same effects. Talk to your doctor if you plan on taking supplements and are already on other medications.

Overall, most of the benefits of resveratrol have been shown in animal studies and at high dosages. Harvard School of Public Health points out, The dose of resveratrol administered in experiments is always much higher than youd normally consume in a daily diet. You would need to drink a hundred to a thousand glasses of red wine to equal the doses that improve health in mice. (11)

That being said, resveratrol is not a cure-all and means to living a longer, disease-free life. It may be one piece of the puzzle, but the bottom line is that it probably shouldnt motivate you to drink more wine than you already are.

Resveratrol Supplements Are Finally Put to the Test …

Posted on by

If one searches the Internet for anti-aging interventions, a vast array of techniques are offered, from starvation regimes to dietary supplements and growth hormones. All are for sale, but none so far have been proven as the magic bullet, despite exorbitant claims on many of the websites. Resveratrol is one supplement youll likely come across, a component of red wine that gained notoriety as a possible explanation for the so-called French Paradox, which turned out to be not so paradoxical after all (seeWhat Explains the French Paradox?).

As I discuss in my video Resveratrol Impairs Exercise Benefits, it turns out that [c]ountries with high wine consumption are those in which saturated fat consumption used to be low but increased in recent years. So, the low mortality from ischemic heart disease may just reflect the earlier, lower levels of saturated fat consumption, and the wine may just be a confounding factor. It did, however, help spark interest in resveratrol, the purported active ingredient of red wine about which scientific papers are now published every day.

More than a hundred of those papers on resveratrol have been called into question, though, as one of the leading researchers in the field was found guilty of taking millions in taxpayer money only to fabricate and falsify his data.

Hundreds of studies still remain, though. Does this mean pills can now replace a healthy diet? Even a group of resveratrol scientists dont think resveratrol is worth supplementing: In contrast to the lacking data on resveratrol in humans, the animal data are promising and indicate the need for further human clinical trials. In rodents, resveratrol supplementation decreased cardiovascular risk factors, improved cardiovascular function and physical capacity, and decreased inflammation, leading to improved vascular function. But, when it was put to the test in people, almost the exact opposite was found.

Specifically, combining resveratrol with athletic training abolished the reduction in blood pressure, cholesterol, and triglycerides normally associated with training; had a more arterial-constricting effect than a dilating effect; and led to a significantly lower increase in the training-induced increase in maximal oxygen uptake.

Rodents on resveratrol get enhanced exercise performance, but, in people, the resveratrol induced a 45 percent lower increase in maximum aerobic capacity compared with those taking a sugar pill. The human subjects were working out like crazy, and the resveratrol undercut their efforts.

This raises a larger issue. Mouse models are a cornerstone of modern biomedical research, and yet systematic studies as to their usefulness are rarely done. Consider this: nearly 150 human clinical trials testing anti-inflammatory drugs have failedwithout exceptionafter those same drugs had shown promise in trials on mice. In analyzing the carry-over from the mouse trials to the human trials, researchers determined that [t]he result was surprising, almost shocking: the correlation was not only poor, it was virtually absent for the main study areas: burns, trauma, endotoxemia. It turns out, for example, that mice may be up to a million times less sensitive to inflammatory endotoxins than humans.

The takeaway is that the negative effects they found add to the growing body of evidence questioning the positive effects of resveratrol supplementation in humans. Maybe the problem, though, was resveratrol supplementationthat is, giving people capsules containing 50 times the resveratrol they would normally get from eating grapes, berries, peanuts, or chocolate. Was it just too much of a good thing? To see if the amount one gets from drinking red wine would be beneficial, we can look to the Chianti region of Tuscany to determine whether resveratrol levels achieved with diet help protect against inflammation, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and death. The answer? None of the above. Despite the fact that U.S. annual sales of resveratrol supplements have reached $30 million, there are limited and conflicting human clinical data demonstrating any human benefits, and there are no data concerning its long-term safety.

The exercise study was supported in part by a manufacturer of resveratrol supplements. To their credit, however, the researchers responded to an angry letter by a supplement company consultant that it is our opinion that we, as scientists, have a responsibility to report what we find, and not to twist our findings to fit the commercial interests.

The benefits of red wine over white do not appear to be due to the resveratrol, but to the estrogen synthase blockers. See Breast Cancer Risk: Red Wine vs. White Wine.

What about the role of red wine in the Mediterranean diet? I have a whole series of videos, including:

I just published a whole new series on alcohol. Check it out:

Sadly, the epic failure of resveratrol supplements is par for the course when it comes to trying to get your nutrition in pill form. See, for example:
