back to resveratrol

1 cup of red wine is equivalent to 1 cup of boiled peanut in resveratrol content!

SIR2 genes is activated by resveratrol. This longevity gene has the capacity to extend the cell's survival by protecting the genes from extraneous injurious agents like free radicals and biological agents. Knowing that genetic apparatus is important being the ultimate regulator of cellular activity then it is clear how the cell can extend its life.

Longevity genes can be activated also by caloric restriction. But why restrict caloric intake when there is resveratrol?

Studies of David Sinclair has shown these findings.
