Research shows that resveratrol is one of nature's powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants play an important role in maintaining human health and preventing diseases. They can resist the damage of free radicals to human cells and have a certain repairing effect.
Resveratrol does not add years of life, but it will make your life healthier. So what are the scientifically proven effects of resveratrol?
● Extend your life
Dr. DAVD SINCLAR of Harvard Medical School published an article in "Nature Magazine", saying that resveratrol can increase life expectancy by 30%, and can prevent obesity while increasing the flexibility of movements.
● Antitumor effect
Among the multiple pharmacological effects of resveratrol, the most striking is the anti-tumor effect. Studies have found that resveratrol can trigger or hinder the occurrence of cell death signals of tumor cells, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing cancer.
● Antioxidant, anti-free radical effect
Resveratrol has significant antioxidant and anti-free radical effects. Studies have shown that resveratrol exerts antioxidant effects mainly by scavenging or inhibiting free radical generation, inhibiting lipid peroxidation, and regulating antioxidant-related enzyme activities.
● lower risk of cardiovascular disease
The protective effect of resveratrol on the cardiovascular system mainly plays a protective role in three aspects: reducing myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, relaxing blood vessels, and resisting atherosclerosis.
Studies have shown that resveratrol can reduce the incidence and duration of ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation, and reduce mortality; it can increase the development tension of blood vessels, increase arterial flow, and reduce the size of myocardial infarction.
● Antibacterial and antiviral effects
Resveratrol has inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, catarrhal bacteria, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and has strong inhibitory effects on orphan virus, herpes simplex virus and enterovirus, Coxsackie A and B groups .
Resveratrol achieves anti-inflammation by reducing the adhesion of platelets and changing the activity of platelets in the anti-inflammatory process.
● Liver protection
Studies have found that resveratrol has a strong inhibitory effect on lipid peroxidation, and can effectively reduce lipids in serum and liver, thereby inhibiting the accumulation of lipid peroxides in the liver and reducing liver damage. In addition, resveratrol also has the effect of anti-hepatic fibrosis.
● Immunomodulatory effect
According to research published in the journal Nutrients, resveratrol can prevent or slow the progression of chronic disease through various immune functions. And studies have found that low-dose resveratrol can promote the immune response mediated by mice, and low-dose administration can antagonize the inhibitory effect of ethanol on delayed-type hypersensitivity in mice.
