Resveratrol Paradox
Lately there has been a renewed interest in examining more clearly the many roles that natural plants play in aiding regulation of balance in the human body. Resveratrol and several other herbal products have gained prominence as researchers uncover ever more exciting properties in terms of human longevity and the potential to treat human disease. Most alkaline based natural plant life, when edible, are extremely potent anti-oxidants.
Resveratrol in particular is proving to be extraordinarily exciting for researchers because of the extended range of diseases it has shown positive results on. The research is not all concluded, but dozens of replicable tests are showing that Resveratrol has positive action in mice and smaller animals. They share a large portion of the human DNA.
There are even hints that chronic lifestyle type diseases such as Diabetes Type 2 and certain symptoms leading to high blood pressure may react positively to Resveratrol. The Japanese Knotweed is one of the primary natural sources of Resveratrol. Resveratrol is now available in convenient capsule form.
One of the paths that first led modern researchers to review Resveratrol differently within the past decade has been the emergence of what some are calling the French Paradox. The French truly have lower incidences of high blood pressure and heart attacks on average as a population than many others in the western world. The theory put forward was that perhaps it was something common to their diet but uncommon to the diet of other westerners.
The most obvious to most onlookers is the love of the French for their red wine. Red Wine is often consumed at every dinner and for some patrons almost all meals. Red wine, but not white , contains very small amounts of Resveratrol somewhere between 4-6 grams per liter.
Some researches say that by the time the stomach digests or converts this there is too little Resveratrol that gets into the blood stream. Others more optimistically postulate that the French drink so much red wine and so frequently that these small amounts have a very positive ongoing accumulative effect over many years.
Part of the continuing debate about the French paradox is that those who have studied the science state unequivocally that you can’t drink enough Red Wine to get the amounts of Resveratrol required. Getting Resveratrol into your diet in other ways is preferable for most people. If you believe in the positive results shown in many smaller animals already, take a resveratrol capsule or two daily and get its many benefits now.
