Which Foods Are a Good Source For Resveratrol?
In order to protect themselves from bacteria and other outside attacks many plants produce a substance called resveratrol. There are also some initial indications that this compound can be very beneficial to humans as well. Studies on this substance began when scientists looked into why red wine drinkers were less prone to develop heart disease. Even though resveratrol is very powerful, it really is not found in many plants.
What other plants have a high resveratrol content?
The food that has the most concentration of resveratrol is grapes, particularly the red and purple varieties. Resveratrol can also be found in mulberries, cranberries, and peanuts. Resveratrol is produced by plants as protection against diseases cause by changes in climate, and attacks by natural predators like bacteria and other microbes.
If a grape is grown in cool or rainy climates, or if it is organically grown, then it is likely that it has a higher resveratrol content than if it was grown in nice weather. This is because it is produced by plants to protect themselves from the outside world, and if it is grown in nice weather and has pesticides to protect it, then it will not need to do as much to protect itself. North Carolina is known as having grapes with the highest content of resveratrol.
Do not make the mistake of destroying the resveratrol content by heating up the fruit. Applying heat can drastically reduce the amount found in the raw food. Also, to get the most bang for your buck do not remove the skin of the food, as this is where most of the resveratrol is found. The best way to eat your grapes, berries, or peanuts is to eat them with their skins on and raw.
Since there are few quality sources of resveratrol, it may be a good idea to get additional amounts with a supplement. Many of the supplements on the market today are derived from Japanese Knotweed. However, you should still try to get as much as possible from an all natural source. This means you should also have one glass of red win per day.
Moreover, you should drink grape juice instead of wine. Although there are some researches that say alcohol may have benefits, excessive consumption will still be disadvantageous for our health. Fresh grape fruit should be your foremost choice. You should refrain from drinking store bought grape juice that contains too much sugar or even aspartame. Aspartame is actually listed as chemical poison, did you know?
Keep your fruit basket filled with strawberries, blueberries, and of course grapes. All of these are rich in antioxidants and contain a relatively good concentration of resveratrol. Also, these fruits only contain natural sugar that is healthy for our bodies. Fake sugar found in so many of consumer goods nowadays contain high fructose corn syrup that is infused with so many chemicals to make it sweet. This contributes greatly to the problem of obesity in young people and older people alike. - 17268
