Biologists have discovered a class of chemicals in red wine that can help prolong life by stimulating an ancient survival reflex. Moreover, this natural chemical substance called "resveratrol" can enhance the ability of human cells to resist nuclear radiation to three times the normal level.
Anti radiation and extended lifespan for at least 10 years
Dr. David Sinclair from Harvard Medical School in the United States unveiled the radiation resistance of red wine at last week's academic seminar. He pointed out that the resveratrol contained in red wine, as a natural compound of polyphenolic plants, can stimulate a special type of enzyme to function, greatly increasing the antioxidant capacity of human cells and increasing their ability to resist nuclear radiation to three times its original level. In addition, Sinclair and colleagues successfully discovered resveratrol with a similar effect to a low calorie diet structure in yeast and fruit flies, and both mice and humans have genes that can produce similar effects. But whether these genes can really play a role still needs to be verified in mice and humans. And even if it can really extend lifespan, drugs based on these substances will not be available for sale for at least a few years.
Dr. Leonardo Gurett from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who participated in the study, said that even starting to consume these chemicals in red wine from the age of 50 can extend lifespan by 10 years. The key to longevity: a low calorie diet
Limiting the calorie intake of mice can prolong their lifespan because there is a mechanism formed in the early stages of evolution in organisms, which spontaneously delays reproduction when food is scarce until conditions improve, thereby helping to reduce consumption and extend lifespan.
A calorie restricted diet structure includes all essential nutrients, but reduces calories by approximately 30% compared to a regular diet. This dietary structure can generally extend the lifespan of rodents by 30% to 50%, up to 80%. Biologists hope that the aforementioned chemicals, which have a similar effect to using a low calorie diet structure, can have the same effect on the human body.
Experts point out that red wine brewed in low-temperature and humid climate environments requires a higher air pressure during the brewing process, resulting in a higher amount of resveratrol; Red wine brewed in drier climates has a lower content of resveratrol. In addition to resveratrol, other chemicals that can limit calorie intake include flavonoids, which are abundant in olive oil.
Many scientists involved in this study have started drinking red wine to increase their lifespan. Dr. Sinclair said, "Hopefully, this study will not lead to excessive consumption of red wine, as one glass per day is already sufficient. Moreover, resveratrol in red wine can be very unstable when exposed to air, and may evaporate completely within a few days after opening the bottle."
