In order to not over-complicate things I'm going to break everything down into simple language, because I think I hold with the KISS philosophy.
WHAT THE HECK IS RESVERATROL?
Though in the science community it's called a polyphenol (natural plant compound), it is actually Japanese Knotweed Extract, a botanical.
Japanese Knotweed grows in both North America and the UK and has frustrated many a gardener because of its invasive growth qualities. It can certainly be likened to how hard it is to get rid of Norton Antivirus. The blasted thing is tenacious in its desire to grow and live! Nevertheless, we can be happy that it's a die-hard because its health benefits are just beginning to be discovered.
Of course it originated in Japan, but it was brought over to North America in the 19th century...the thought being (of ALL things), that it might make gardens look prettier! Little did they know it was THE WORST thing for gardens! Bit I digress...
SO WHY IS RESVERATROL GOOD FOR YOUR HEART?
Resveratrol has a high concentration of antioxidants' protection in it, which has been proven to improve cardiovascular health. So intake of antioxidants will make your heart healthy...and a healthy ticker is FOUNDATIONAL to overall good health. It needs to tick...tick...tick, or you'll be sick, sick, sick. (Or dead, which is definitely NOT the desired outcome!)
Resveratrol is found in grape skins and red wine, but the amount you've have to drink would cause you to be lubed-n-loopy on liquor; resulting in loss of friends and family no doubt!
Of course antioxidant protection can also be found from things in your diet, but the quantities you'd have to eat in order to get enough would border on the ridiculous! Kind of like that commercial where the woman is eating large clumps of raw broccoli while driving her mini-van. Green Giant indeed!
So the idea is to find something you can add to your daily regime that can provide you with an arsenal of antioxidants, something to help you fight the good fight and come out the victor! Resveratrol supplements can be found in red wine pills and other supplemental pills at most health outlets, but you might want to go to an actual store so you can ask questions.
We are actually pretty darn lucky to be living in a time when so many great health products are available to us, not to mention all the research that has gone into the products. Years ago our forefathers were not all that savvy on what makes us tick, physically speaking; but now we are enlightened, and becoming more so every day. So it just makes good sense to take full advantage of the knowledge and give yourself the gift of a brighter overall health picture through a healthy hear, which is what resveratrol can do for you!
Now since excellent overall health begins in the colon, doing a colon cleanse can provide you with an awesome jump start for losing weight and gaining better overall health, and since I personally use this product, I highly recommend it: http://myghcstore.com/howtobehealthy/
