Resveratrol,a flavonoid antioxidant present in grape skins and red grape juice. In plants, it’s naturally synthesized as a defense mechanism to protect against invading fungi. It’s gained a lot of attention for anti-aging and disease-fighting powers. Various studies continued to explore and early research does suggest it might help protect you against: ➡️Heart Disease ➡️Cancer ➡️Alzheimer's disease ➡️Diabetes Resveratrol works by modifying inflammation in the body, in addition to having other positive effects on hormone production, blood circulation and fat storage.
Now you know the benefits of resveratrol in your diet, you may be wondering what the best source of this compound is. These are the best foods and beverages to add to your diet (albeit in moderation) in order to consume more resveratrol:
Red grapes and red wine. In case you’re wondering, white wine has some too but much lower amounts since the grapes’ skins are removed earlier in the wine-making process.
Certain types of traditional teas, including Itadori tea, common in Asian countries
Raw cocoa (dark chocolate)
Lingonberries
Blueberries
Mulberries
Bilberries
Cranberries
Pistachios
Although I don’t generally don’t recommend eating them often, peanuts and soy are other resveratrol sources.
