Life Extension

Have you ever heard of the "French Paradox"? This is nothing to do with French literature or philosophy, or even French art.

It does, however, have everything to do with the French diet. If you ever take a quick glance through a traditional French cookbook, you'll be surprised at how much animal fat and butter it contains - pate being one typical example.

Add to this the fact that a lot of French people smoke a lot, and you'd expect the rate of heart disease in France to be very high. It isn't. This is the French Paradox.

The solution to the French Paradox lies in a number of factors. One of the better documented reasons for the low rate of heart disease in France is the high levels of resveratrol in their diet.

You may have heard of Life Extension Resveratrol, but you possibly have never heard exactly what resveratrol is or what it does.

Resveratrol is a naturally occurring plant antibiotic produced by wine grapes to fight moulds that cause plant disease. Resveratrol is retained in the grape juice during the fermenting process of wine-making, and remains in wine when consumed by people.

As the traditional French diet includes moderate amounts of red wine, the resveratrol in the wine gives those who eat this way a range of health benefits, including increased protection against heart disease.

So, you might ask, why should I spend my money on Life Extension Resveratrol? Why not just go down to the local liquor store and buy a bottle or two of cheap red plonk?

Well, drinking red wine is one way to get resveratrol - if you can find wine that has been organically produced (the use of pesticides in the vineyard inhibits the grapes' natural ability to produced mould-fighting resveratrol) and has not been exposed to copper sulphate.

Most modern wines readily available on the market only contain about 1-3 mg of resveratrol per liter. To get the amount of resveratrol available in Life Extension Resveratrol, you would have to drink up to 100 liters of wine daily.

This might give your heart a health boost but would do unbelievable damage to your liver and brain, not to mention your wallet. Taking Life Extension Resveratrol is much simpler - and leaves you able to drive and carry out your normal day.

Life Extension Resveratrol also contains another grape-derived health nutrient - not surprising, seeing as Life Extension Resveratrol is derived from specially selected whole red grapes.

This nutrient, quercetin, gives Life Extension Resveratrol extra antioxidant properties. Life Extension Resveratrol also has the full range of benefits that are offered by red grapes in a concentrated and bioavailable form, including anti-inflammatory properties, bioflavinoids and a range of polyphenols.

Life Extension Resveratrol is safe for everyone to use, as long as you keep to the recommended daily dose. However, pregnant or lactating women should consult their health professional before taking any medical supplement, including Life Extension Resveratrol.
