HEALTHY LIVING TIPS

Some of the companies who are offering products with Resveratrol are beginning to make claims that it is good for your heart and will over time rebuild cells. So, with the French living 25% longer than Americans, having less heart disease, is this really true?

Well, when we study the French, we see that their diet is very similar to that of Americans, high in fat and cholesterol. Research has in fact shown that Resveratrol can act as an anti inflammatory and help prevent fatty build ups in your body. This will of course mean your reduce the risk of a stroke or heart disease.

So, if the French live longer yet eat similar to the Americans, there has to be something in the claim many companies are making about Resveratrol!

Research has also shown that resveratrol can help lower your cholesterol with it’s antioxidant properties. So, when you look at all the research and the facts, it certainly appears to be the case that Resveratrol could in fact help and improve the health of your heart.

However, the main powerful substance in Resveratrol that thousands of people are putting to the test, is of course it’s ability to slow down the aging effect in humans, which in turn could lead to a longer life span.

So, although many companies claim Resveratrol is good for your heart, the main benefit people are drawn to is the anti aging effect itself.

The fact that it is a relatively new discovery means that over time we will see many more benefits appearing from it’s use. Many companies have testimonials already coming in with side effects such as softer firmer skin, signs of wrinkles disappearing, more energy, better overall health etc.

This “wonder substance” that many are calling it is found in Red Wine, but experts are of course advising against drinking too much. The French are brought up on Red Wine and have been drinking it for years, which could account for their longer life expectancy.

Now of course you can buy Resveratrol in capsule form. 300 mg a day is advised. Anything less will not give you the anti aging effect. It is also recommended you take it with other added ingredients, such as some of the “Superfoods” we now know exist. Acai, Goji, Noni etc.

When taken with these added ingredients, your body will start to recover from the many years of abuse it has been given from not just your eating habits, but also from your way of life.

Do some research online and maybe find some Resveratrol products that offer you a free trial. That way you can begin to experience the health benefits for yourself without having to pay out hundreds of dollars first.

Wrinkle erasing botox injections have come home to roost in the living rooms of average Americans from Arkansas to Arizona. Once thought to be accessible only by the wealthy and well-known, Botox, a drug derived from a poison called Botulinum toxin, has been used for years in doctors’ offices to help treat and prevent mild to severe facial wrinkles.

Botox treatments boast diluted samples of nerve blocking toxins, which prevent muscles from contracting during normal facial expressions and help to soften and relax facial wrinkling. For a culture bent on preternaturally youthful looks, this sounds like a miracle cure. Botox is fast, painless, relatively affordable, and it’s becoming a way for estheticians, dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons to grow their patient lists.

At a cost of about $350 per injection and a life span of approximately three months, for those of us with furrowed brows, laugh lines and crow’s feet and a large measure of vanity, Botox injections may seem like the discount fountain of youth- and with Botox parties growing in popularity, you can get it in the Jones’ living room along with hors d’oeuvres and a glass of Chardonnay.

The danger in these parties and with Botox injections in general, is that on occasion, Botox can migrate from the injection area. An injection into a frown line could send the nerve blocking agent to other areas of the face and cause a “sleepy eye” or a frozen appearance. While Botox is not a permanent wrinkle treatment, any amount of time spent with an unmoving expression could cause some distress.

Many doctors strongly disagree with making Botox house calls, saying it invites criticism of their profession, detracts from professionalism and raises the chances for poor results. Although Botox is used mainly to smooth out the wrinkles of an age-obsessed beauty conscious society, the Botox drug itself can also be used to treat excessive sweating in palms and underarms, cerebral palsy in children, and herniated discs. “Botox should not be underestimated as a real drug meant for medical use,” says one doctor.

Doctors and surgeons urge their patients to consider botox and any form of cosmetic improvement with some due deliberation. Reflect on the time, place and the person administering the treatment before going under the syringe, and above all, be aware that there are risks associated with botox treatments.

Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant found in grapes, pine trees, peanuts and other plants. For years scientists have been fascinated by the “French Paradox”, which is the high fat diet that the French have and the low incidence of heart disease. There has been much research on this and it has been concluded that the answer lies in the wine that the French also drink and the high levels of resveratrol found in the grapes that go into producing it.

Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the National Institute on Aging have found that resveratrol in high doses let mice eat a high fat diet and somehow avoid the problems associated most commonly with obesity. The liver and other systems of these mice remained healthy and related deaths dropped by 31%.

Another study showed that mice that were feed high levels of resveratrol along with high fat diets exhibited less weight gain, greater physical endurance and better insulin sensitivity.

Resveratrol also showed the ability to increase the life span in yeast, mice and certain fish.

There are other benefits to resveratrol that are related to the fact that is a powerful antioxidant. It has been quoted as “one of the best free radical scavengers”. Free radicals in the body are produced by naturally occurring environmental stress and damage healthy cells in the body.

Resveratrol shows promise in a number of human age related health studies focusing on diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A recent 60 Minutes interview highlighted some of the research going on today. There are several clinical trials already underway on this subject. The research being done now is focusing on resveratrol as being a substance which can increase longevity by eliminating some of the diseases associated with growing older such as Alzheimer’s, diabetes and heart associated diseases. To do this, they believe it can slow done the aging process. Scientists have long known that one way to live longer and healthier is to always be hungry. Reduced caloric intake seems to trigger a gene known for its “survival instinct”. This someday may allow a 80 year old man to have the health of a 50 year old today. The ability to prevent or delay the onset of life threatening diseases would have a enormous effect on the quality of human life as you can well imagine.

The American Heart Association doesn’t recommend that you start drinking alcohol just to prevent heart disease or any other illness. Alcohol can be addictive. Too much increases your risk of high blood pressure, high triglycerides, liver damage, obesity, certain types of cancer, accidents and other problems. In addition, even small amounts of alcohol can cause cardiomyopathy — weakened heart muscle — and heart failure in some people. If you have heart failure or a weak heart you should avoid alcohol completely. The safest and most effective way of taking resveratrol would be as a dietary supplement. This gives you the advantages of benefitting from this very important substance as well as avoiding the problems associated with alcohol.
