Hundreds of generations of people living to ripe old ages in Europe, led to this amazing discovery. These populations suffer less cancers, less heart disease and less of all the dread diseases which plague, for arguments sake the Americans. They also suffer from lower stress levels, age slower and are generally speaking a darn sight happier. This has been proven to be because of millennium long histories of daily red wine consumption.

It has been proven that daily drinking of red wine has provided all these health benefits, and it is only red wine which is responsible. The secret lies in the way this wine is made. Grapes are harvested when ripe and placed whole in a barrel with yeast to help fermentation. The skin of the grape, the pips and even the grape vine is very rich in plant polyphenols. These are produced naturally to protect the grapes and vines from disease. Resveratrol is a powerful plant polyphenols, the wine making process, concentrates its properties.

Once fermentation has taken place, the grapes are pressed and the juice is separated from the seeds and pips etc. When it has aged sufficiently in barrels, the wine is dispensed into bottles for consumption and we drink it.

Endothelin-1 is a bad protein, found to be one of the principle cases of atherosclerosis, in a research study conducted with red wine as a subject. 68 % of participants consuming this delicious drink were found to have much lower Endothelin-1 levels. But this is not the only research study concerning the drinking of red wine, many more benefits have been found.

Everything in moderation is the key, and only one glass a day should be consumed, although men may be able to drink more than women. However if you are unable to drink red wine - and this is the source of the best grape skin extract, it is available in supplement form.
