Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
The pandemic has taught us quite a few lessons.
Patience… staying close with family… and how to take preventative steps to stay healthy.
While it may be easy to get quarantine fatigue, it’s important to stay the course—the end is in sight!
One very important way to do that is by fortifying your immune system.
And now researchers have discovered a brand-new way to do so.
Believe it or not, this wine secret could be one of your best bets to BULLETPROOF your immune system.
You’ve probably heard that you can make your immune system stronger by taking vitamin D, vitamin C, and melatonin, but a recent study has shown there’s a new powerhouse to add to your rotation.
Resveratrol.
Resveratrol is an amazing bioactive plant extract that is found in the skin of grapes, blueberries, raspberries, and peanuts.
It’s been studied for years to help benefit your heart, your brain, and increase longevity.
But now research shows there’s even MORE it can do.
A study from the journal Phytotherapy Research recently discovered that resveratrol helps block the replication of the COVID-19 virus.
What does that mean?
Viruses work by invading our cells and then hijacking them to produce copies of themselves. This process is called viral replication.
And one of the keys to fighting a virus is to STOP this replication… which is exactly what resveratrol does.
In a test tube study, the research team infected healthy cells with the COVID-19 virus. Next, they tested different amounts of resveratrol on the cells. That’s when they discovered that resveratrol BLOCKS the replication of viruses, giving your immune system time to fight back.
It’s more proof than ever that resveratrol is an important compound to keep you healthy.
When shopping for a resveratrol supplement, make sure you choose a reputable brand and that it has a high potency as well.
