Red fruits increase life expectancy, say scientists
We love red fruits for their wonderful, special taste. Another reason to prefer them is because are good for health.
A new study by a team of scientists from the US, Switzerland and France showed that the substance resveratrol, which is contained in red fruits, such as pomegranates, berries, strawberries, raspberries, grapes and apples, it helps largely heart function, while also delays the aging of our body. THE dermatologist suggests resveratrol-based treatments for healthy and glowing skin.
According to this study, resveratrol is beneficial as well offers a reduced calorie diet from 30%-40% and with this reduction we gain in longevity. To be precise, scientists believe that the intake of reduced calories in our diet increases life expectancy us. According to the researchers, small doses of resveratrol daily have the same positive response from our body as the low-calorie diet.
This means enriching our diet with foods such as grapes, pomegranate, raspberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc. containing resveratrol, as well as with moderate consumption of wine (1-2 glasses per day), we benefit from the beneficial effects of this substance.
The effect of resveratrol appears to be positively affects the mitochondria of cells that are present in all organs of the body and are the small units of energy production located in the cytoplasm of cells. Mitochondria are vulnerable to oxidative damage of metabolism that accumulate as you age. The antioxidant action of resveratrol protects overall health of mitochondria located in the heart, brain, etc. and by extension increases our life expectancy.
