Resveratrol may help maintain a healthy liver

There has been talk about the high fat diet found in France and the high consumption of red wine. Did the red wine play a role in their health despite consumption of a high fat diet? A lot of research studies in the early 1990’s to present has been underway to answer questions about the discovered phytochemical found in red wine and red grape skins called resveratrol. What does it do? How does it work? Does it play a role in the cardiovascular health benefits attributed to red wine? It has been discovered that resveratrol is a very good compound with antioxidant properties and many health benefits.

Very recent research studies now highlight the ability of resveratrol, a naturally occurring compound found in red wine, to help maintain a healthy liver despite a very high fat diet. For example, the effects of a high fat diet led to obesity, insulin resistance, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. However, resveratrol helped defend against these bad effects caused by the diet, including helping to maintain a healthy liver by inhibiting the accumulation of fat.

Today, people take Resveratrol supplements, a red wine extract made from the skin of red grapes, in order to obtain this natural component of red wine without having to drink the wine. The amounts provided in supplements and used in clinical research studies far exceed the amounts naturally present in a bottle of wine. As more and more new information is released, we may learn that taking Resveratrol supplements helps keep our whole body in good health in many ways.
