Meet One of Your Heart Health’s Most Potent Allies!
I’ve been studying ways to boost heart health for many years, and resveratrol is one of the most powerful substances I have come across.
There are actually two kinds of resveratrol, “cis-resveratrol” and “trans-resveratrol.” It’s the second kind that appears to be the most beneficial.
One way it protects your heart is by preventing blood clots, a major cause of heart attack, particularly in older folks.
In one study, published in the International Journal of Molecular Medicine, researchers gave healthy male subjects a blood-clotting factor along with high doses of trans-resveratrol.
They found that trans-resveratrol prevented their blood platelets from sticking together.
Not only does this help your heart - it also prevents strokes.
Another way it powers your heart involves a miraculous capability called “angio-genesis,” a fancy term for blood vessel growth.
Trans-resveratrol acts a bit like bypass surgery by creating new blood vessels to deliver more oxygen to your heart when it’s not getting enough.
Finally, trans-resveratrol drives down levels of bad fats called triglycerides. These are the fatty acids that clog your arteries.
Scientists have been able to lower triglyceride levels by as much as 15 % in pre-menopausal women by using concentrated grape powder.
Your health
