Some Harvard-educated researchers believe they’ve discovered a proverbial ‘fountain of youth’.*
They’re talking about resveratrol, calling it a miracle ingredient, and the greatest discovery since antibiotics.*
Resveratrol is a compound found in the skin and seeds of grapes.
Researchers have been mystified for years about how the French can smoke cigarettes and eat high-fat foods, yet still have extremely low rates of cancer and heart disease. They call it the French paradox.
Harvard researchers Dr. Christoph Westphal and David Sinclair conducted genetic research to investigate the French paradox.
Until now, scientists believed drinking red wine had health benefits*… but couldn’t put their finger on exactly why.
Now they believe the resveratrol in wine activates cells into behaving more youth-like in a number of ways.*
The biggest hurdle with resveratrol is finding a way to consume the large concentrations required to provide you with a benefit. You’d need several bottles of wine per day to get the anticipated benefit from resveratrol. Drinking large amounts of wine or other alcoholic beverages will increase your insulin levels, which will eventually have a negative impact on your health in a number of ways.
I’ll tell you in a minute how you can get your highly-concentrated resveratrol without the alcohol, sugars and calories of red wine.
But first, let’s discuss how to control your free radical levels…
Neutralizing the Free Radical Threat
Every day of your life you face exposure to dangerous free radicals. No matter how healthy a lifestyle you lead or how healthy your diet is, this is simply a fact of life.
Fortunately this is not all bad – as your normal bodily functions (breathing, metabolism, and physical activity) naturally generate free radicals. Your immune system also generates free radicals to help neutralize viruses and bacteria.
But some free radicals are the result of environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, pesticides, and cigarette smoking.
The problem starts when these free radicals attack your healthy cells and cause them to weaken and become more susceptible to health disorders. Plus, this can also have a profound effect on how you age.
An All Natural Source of Resveratrol
Purple Defense contains 50 mg of Resveratrol per serving.
With an overall 3,500 ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value per capsule, Purple Defense capsules provide a powerful natural antioxidant blend.
But as part of normal functioning, your body is capable of keeping free radicals in check and naturally neutralizing them, unless you…
Eat a diet consisting mostly of processed junk food
Cut corners on getting enough sleep on a daily basis
Ignore your need for regular exercise
Find yourself under a great deal of stress
Expose yourself to a high number of environmental free radicals
Exposing your body to these types of conditions may overwhelm it with free radicals and cause damage.
Plus, free radical damage accumulates with age. So, the longer your lifestyle and environment expose you to this damage, the greater your consequences as you age… the greater potential consequences to your overall aging process.
So what can you do?
Well, first of all, it would be helpful to address the unhealthy habits listed above.
Additionally, consider going the next step and find ways to fortify your healthy diet with antioxidant rich food.
I’m sure you’re well aware of the benefits of antioxidants from all the discussion on my site. I’ve spent literally decades researching this topic and cannot stress their importance to you enough.
Antioxidants provide your body with natural protection against free radicals and help you neutralize and keep them under control.
