[Health Information] Drinking red wine can make you look three years younger.

[ Summary]

▶ Consuming wine rich in resveratrol over a three-and-a-half-month study period reduced aging by about three years.

▶ Resveratrol-rich wine increased muscle mass by about 300 grams over a three-and-a-half-month study period.

▶ Resveratrol-rich wine reduced body fat by 1.6 kg over a three-and-a-half-month study period.

Antioxidant food 'red wine'!

In a normal state, active oxygen is produced or removed appropriately to maintain balance , but when the production of active oxygen increases and the antioxidant function that removes active oxygen decreases, the concentration of active oxygen in the body increases . 1-2% of active oxygen is produced while 95% of the oxygen that enters the human body produces energy . This active oxygen is an essential substance for our body, but it becomes toxic when excessive . Active oxygen, which can oxidize the body and cause damage to cells , tissues , and DNA , inflammation , and tumors, simply ages the body .

Resveratrol, a polyphenol found in red wine, has anti-cancer and antioxidant properties and helps lower blood cholesterol . When resveratrol is consumed , sirtuins, known as " longevity genes ," are activated, which helps alleviate the toxicity of harmful substances that cause carcinogenesis in the body .

Resveratrol, which is found in large quantities in grape skins, is secreted in large quantities when grapes are stressed , so it is contained more in fermented red wine than in grape juice .

Drinking wine rich in resveratrol can lower your biological age!

Biological age is the age based on the state of cells and tissues , and is often called " physical age . " When your biological age is older than your chronological age , the risk of dementia and stroke increases significantly . In other words , disease risk and biological age are often evaluated in relation to each other .

Epigenetic age, one of the main causes of biological age, is a way to measure the body's age using immune cells , and when this epigenetic age is reduced, you can extend your lifespan in a healthy way without disease .

Repetto and colleagues at the University of Buenos Aires in Argentina studied how consuming resveratrol-rich wine with every meal for three and a half months affected the epigenetic age of older adults who also had cardiovascular risk factors such as diabetes , high blood pressure , and obesity .

As a result , study participants showed a decrease in epigenetic age after three and a half months of wine consumption .

Epigenetic age changes when consuming resveratrol-rich wine

The graph above shows that as chronological age ( blue bars ) increased over the three and a half months of the study, epigenetic age ( red bars ) decreased by approximately three years . These results suggest that drinking wine high in resveratrol may potentially increase healthy lifespan by reducing epigenetic age, a major contributor to overall biological age .

Wines high in resveratrol increase muscle mass!

Aging typically involves a loss of muscle mass , which can lead to frailty and loss of physical function . Therefore, the researchers measured the effects of resveratrol-rich wine consumption on muscle mass .

Study participants showed muscle gains after three and a half months of wine consumption .

Changes in muscle mass when consuming resveratrol-rich wine

The graph above shows that, compared to the muscle mass at the start of the study ( blue bars ) , consuming resveratrol-enriched wine resulted in an increase of approximately 300 grams in muscle mass . These results suggest that consuming resveratrol-enriched wine may increase muscle mass .

Wines high in resveratrol reduce fat!

Increased body fat is often associated with impaired cardiovascular function and a shorter healthy lifespan—the time a person can live without developing debilitating diseases . Therefore, researchers measured the effects of resveratrol-rich wine consumption on body fat .

Study participants were found to have reduced average body fat mass after three and a half months of wine consumption .

Changes in body fat mass when consuming resveratrol-rich wine

The graph above shows that, compared to initial body fat values ​​( blue bars ) , consuming resveratrol-enriched wine ( red bars ) during the study period resulted in an average decrease of 1.6 kg in body fat . These results support the idea that consuming resveratrol-enriched wine can reduce body fat .

Resveratrol provides anti-aging effects in animal models!

As a result , the elderly's epigenetic age was reversed by approximately three years , and the risk of cardiovascular complications was reduced . Furthermore , muscle mass was significantly increased and body fat was reduced , suggesting that moderate consumption of resveratrol-rich wine may improve body composition and health, potentially extending lifespan .

Future clinical studies are needed to determine whether resveratrol combined with wine components, such as alcohol, is more beneficial than resveratrol alone in reducing morbidity and mortality in older adults at risk for cardiovascular disease .
