Ageless Results
Resveratrol has been proven to slow the ageing process in mice. How that effect will transfer from mice to men has yet to be discovered.
Resveratrol may also promote a healthier heart, reduce memory loss, extend endurance, combat retroviruses - including Herpes Simplex and HIV.
Resveratrol is also a powerful antioxidant. Negative aspects include association between resveratrol and an increase in breast cancer.
In addition, it has been associated with lowering bad blood serum cholesterol readings, as well as reducing the risk of coronary heart disease.
Our short list of foods containing resveratrol which may promote an anti-ageing effect and a longer life:
Peanuts
This is one of the best - if not the best food sources for resveratrol. Who would have ever thought that looking younger could be as close as a bag of peanuts away?
Wine
Specifically the red wines which contain minimal amounts - but they also offer health benefits for several areas of the body, including Mister Heart.
Grapes
Particularly the Muscadine variety where the skin, pulp and seed have been connected with healthy heart rendering benefits. If you don't drink wine like myself due to this being a significantly rampant addiction in the family tree, then enjoying foods such as jams and juices prepared from the Muscadine contain the same amount of resveratrol in a two ounce serving as found in a four ounce serving of red wine.

Mulberries
These are rather difficult to come by - but so delicious. We once lived where we had two trees that produced significant amounts during the warmer time of the year.
We were driving in that direction a couple of years or so after we moved from that house and my husband wanted to see what the old 'home place' looked like, so we took a short detour.
Unfortunately, the people who had purchased the house had chopped down the trees. That was a rather disappointing moment in our lives. The mulberries also drew in a bounty of wildlife to our home, so the little critter's dinner became less, too.
Berries
Raspberries, blueberries, and cranberries are all good sources.
Other Sources
Resveratrol can also be found in Japanese knotweed as well as specific varieties of pine trees.
