Resveratrol Found In Red Wine May Help Prevent Memory Loss, Study Says

A compound found in foods including red wine, grapes, and peanuts may help prevent age-related memory loss, according to new research published by a faculty member in the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.

In recent years, resveratrol has gained a lot of attention for its reported anti-aging and disease-combating benefits. Studies have linked it to reducing inflammation, preventing the oxidation of LDL “bad” cholesterol, and making it harder for platelets to stick together and form the clots that can lead to a heart attack. Not all studies agree though that it is a silver bullet to preventing health issues. One study found resveratrol diminished the positive effects of exercise in humans.
