The effects of this chemical on human health have been disputed over the years, but it has been reported to extend lifespan, provide cardiovascular, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer effects.

Is there anyone in this world who fails to be swayed by the magic of youth? None, for when youth explodes joyously all Nature smiles!
One of these enzymes, known as TyrRS, becomes activated when resveratrol binds to it. This causes the enzyme to move into the cell nucleus where it helps to protect the DNA of the chromosomes against genetic damage, the scientists suggested.
Scripps Research Institute researchers investigated resveratrol, and found the chemical stimulates a gene normally reserved for response to stress. This action activates additional genes, which protects cells from damage caused by aging.
Though beneficial, the National Health Services recommends 3-4 units of alcohol a day for men and 2-3 units a day for women where 1 unit is 10 millilitres.
