A new study on resveratrol shows that low-dose resveratrol inhibited
genes that cause age-related health problems, prolonging life-span. (Previous
studies showed high doses were shown to stimulate the SIRT1 gene, which plays
a role in extending life span.) Low-dose resveratrol consumption does not seem
to activate the SIRT1 gene.
“This supports human studies showing that red wine or red wine [...]

In the new study, Elena Lo Piparo and colleagues, explain that a key digestive protein called alpha-amylase rapidly converts certain high-carb foods into glucose or blood sugar. That fast conversion results in sudden spikes in blood sugar in patients with diabetes. A common clinical strategy to manage sharp rises in blood glucose after eating is [...]

Cows that graze on fresh pasture produce milk with higher levels of antioxidants and beneficial fatty acids, such as conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3’s, as shown by a recently published study from Newcastle University in the UK.
“Grazing dairy cows on grass or grass and clover swards produces milk with a healthier fatty acid profile [...]

University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers have found that resveratrol appeared to halt age-related changes in the function of heart genes.
The effects, described in the PLOS One journal, appeared to mimic those produced by eating a very low calorie diet, known to prolong life.
Resveratrol, has been suggested as one of the reasons for the so-called “French paradox” [...]

A study has found that tobacco smokers who ingest high levels of flavonoids, in their diet have a lower risk of developing lung cancer, the ‘Cancer’ journal reported.
Flavonoids are said to block the formation of blood vessels that tumours develop so they can grow and spread, and stop cancer cells from growing, allowing for naturally [...]
