Resveratrol May Help Your Inflammation
Recent research shows that resveratrol (an antioxidant found in the skin of red grapes) may help tame inflammation. One of the first studies to test resveratrol's effects on human health, the research suggests that resveratrol may also fight free radicals (chemical byproducts known to damage DNA).
For the study, 20 adults took either a dietary supplement (containing 40 mg of resveratrol) or a placebo pill once a day for six weeks. Results showed that resveratrol suppressed several substances known to increase inflammation in blood vessels. Those pro-inflammatory markers included compounds that may interfere with insulin and, in turn, increase diabetes risk.
Available in supplement form, resveratrol has been found to suppress breast cancer progression, hinder age-related decline in heart health, reduce stroke damage, and lower cholesterol levels in previously published animal studies and test-tube research.
