If you are into the keeping yourself fit paradigm, then it is imperative that you might have heard about the latest drug in the block – Resveratrol. The compound is an alkaloid that is known to poss manifold characteristics, those will be beneficial to the human body, when they are ingested. In the following sections, I will be outlining the advantages of the same product, along with the common sources of the drug. The same Resveratrol is now available in the form of supplements – do not hesitate to invest on a pack, if ever you come across them!
Resveratrol – the common sources: The main naturally occurring source for Resveratrol is red wine or red grapes. Red wine is manufactured by processing red grapes and hence the resultant product is known to contain adequate levels of the same Resveratrol. During the recent years, it was found that the same chemical could be found in peanuts (the concentration of Resveratrol on the peanuts increased when they were roasted). I would like to dispel a confusion (or a myth) regarding white wine and Resveratrol. The fact is, white wine does contain Resveratrol, but only in minute quantities. But, the reality is something else – people advocate that white wine does not contain Resveratrol.
The effects of Resveratrol on the human body: The primary effect of the product is controlling the viscosity of the blood. When the viscosity levels of the blood are kept in tab, the heart will be able to pump the same blood to different parts of the body. The idea is simple (again) – Resveratrol will increase the efficiency of the circulatory system of the body. Efficient transportation of nutrients to the body cells and removal of waste materials is thus achieved. Resveratrol also aid in fat loss.
The fat loss is obtained by increasing the levels of metabolism in the body. When the metabolism levels are augmented, the consumed food will be digested in a speedy fashion. In the absence of food, the energy that is present on the fat cells deposited on various parts of the body will be released. Once the fat cells are utilized in the said manner, there will be a marked decrease in the overall weight of the body. Resveratrol is now known to inhibit various types of cancer. The chemical is noted to act on carcinogenic cells and removes them from the body in a timely manner.
Resveratrol also is known to lower the overall sugar levels of the blood. This is a welcome feature for diabetic patients. They no longer have to rely on expensive medications to lower the blood sugar level – drinking wholesome amounts of red wine or eating red grapes will impart the same effect. Answering the title of this brief article – yes, Resveratrol is a miracle drug. Research with Resveratrol is still on its infancy – it is stated that on the coming years, we will experience more advantages of the product. Lab experiments are proving that the chemical is effective for various medical ailments, likewise!
