Red Wine and Resveratrol

Red wine has long been shown to help in the fight and prevention of cancer. Researchers say the antioxidant found in grape skins, known as resveratrol, appears to work by targeting the cancer cell's energy source from within and crippling it. This is from a study published in Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology.

The results showed that resveratrol had a variety of potentially valuable anti-cancer effects, including:

• Making the cancer cells more sensitive to chemotherapy by hampering proteins that resist treatment
• Triggering cancer cell death (apoptosis)
• Injuring the cancer cell's energy source and decreasing its potential to function

I never used to drink red wine, but after changing my lifestyle, I began to drink red wine almost on a daily basis. Usually, it will be just one glass in the evening. It's important to know your limits. It is very easy to go beyond a single glass a day.
