Resveratrol- Oprah & 60 Minutes
Dr. Oz and Oprah endorsed Resveratrol on the Oprah Winfrey Show Tuesday, March 24th. The Resveratrol Anti-Aging Diet was created by Dr. Oz. This young doctor has found a way to reverse the effects of aging and promote a longer life with the antioxidant, resveratrol, that is found in red wine. On the show, Dr. Oz talks to Oprah about how the food we eat can either damage or nurture our bodies. Resveratrol, which is found in the dark skins of the grapes that red wine is made out of, is a food that nurtures our bodies and promotes long healthy lives. Back in 1991, you may remember, a study came out that red wine is healthy for the heart and can help you live longer. From within the red wine, it’s actually the resveratrol that helps prevent cancer and coronary heart disease, thus allowing you to live longer.
In 1991 60 minutes first reported on “the french paradox,” which is the observation that the French - despite a higher fat and wine intake than Americans - they suffered from a remarkably lower rate of heart disease. Now scientists have discovered something in red wine called resveratrol which can also, in very high concentrations, actually help people live longer by greatly reducing the risk of a number of age related illnesses.
