Resveratrol may well be one part of longevity.

However, it might be better to focus on simple markers which certainly shorten life for very many.

Two examples that spring to mind are are:
1. Generalised inflammation, and
2. Homocysteine level.

Identifying factors like these would stop many thousands dying early.

Resveratrol can be considered – once primary factors of aging – such as these – have been dealt with.

Stephan – Excellent point. It’s always interesting to hear about Sirt1 research and longevity…as if you improve the glucose energy system, lower insulin resistance, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce oxidative damage to give an anti-cancer/diabetes effect…then you can help to increase someone’s lifespan. But if already healthy how does it actually help otherwise? Also Sirt1 supplementation still doesn’t have the other protective/longevity responses (such as increased heart/lung/brain resistance to stress and the blockage/lowering of circulating IGF-1) like CR mice did. Still lots to be learned about it…hence why it may be a nice addition to an already healthy lifestyle (although how does one really prove that?) but more so a great help possibly for diabetics or people at high risk (high insulin/insulin resistance), but is in no way a replacement of the body’s responses to healthy eating/exercise and periods of IF/CR. (as no supplement should ever be a replacement to lifestyle)

There’s a SIRT1 overexpressor mouse. It seems to be healthier overall (cholesterol, glucose, insulin levels) but it doesn’t live any longer than other mice.

Interesting news, i hope this discovery can be another solid step towards the cure of those diseases. I’m portuguese, so red wine is part of our gastronomy, of our culture, it is long known that red wine has a good effect on the Heart, it helps to protect the Heart from the most common diseases, and it also helps to low the cholesterol. Red wine has a special place in the mediterranean diet, considered to be a very good one, specially to prevent Heart problems and keep the Heart healthy. Now it seems to have other very very good properties that are good for our Health. It’s good to know.
