Useful new information on heart protection & more radiation protection....
Today's Post: Friday, 3-18-2011
The sailors when ships sailed the sea using wind and sail for power had a saying.
“It’s an ill wind that blows nobody good.’
This is a shrewd and interesting saying that suggests that many events that are creating some bad effects, can often do good in other places. With wind, a wind that makes it truly challenging to sail towards the West may well also make it much easier to sail East.
This week, I found something that is very like that.
In this case, information was published that showed that a supplement that definitely protects your heart and may slow aging and halt cancers, is very much more effective if it’s taken with alcohol.
It seems that research done close to or just after the Chernobyl radiation release found that the resveratrol in red wine and purple grape juice and other plant sources is protective against radiation AND that it is much more effective if taken with alcohol.
(That may be one of the several reasons why red wine, which is not extremely high in resveratrol seems to deliver benefits from the resveratrol it does have.)
So, if you are taking resveratrol supplements for their proven heart protection or in hopes of slowing aging a bit, which was the original finding, this means that whether or not, you are also trying to protect yourself from radiation, taking 100 mg of the trans resveratrol form (the effective version) a day with a drink at dinner may give you as much benefit as taking many times that much, perhaps 10 times or more, without the alcohol.
Red wine also has other phytonutrients that have other health benefits and Burgundy, Pinot Noir, and Zinfandels have an extra ingredient that helps lower LDL cholesterol. So they deliver extra heart protection.
But for purposes of boosting the effectiveness of taking resveratrol, vodka, gin, beer, or white wine may work just as well, if you like them better.
(This was in an article by Lucinda Gunnin from the Yahoo Contributor Network last Tuesday afternoon, 3-15.)
The same article noted that a Boston University School of Medicine study in 2009 found that antioxidants take after radiation exposure can reduce tissue damage from the radiation exposure.
That means that Dr David Brownstein’s suggestion to take extra vitamin C up to a bit over 3,000 mg a day after exposure may be sound.
Taking extra mixed natural tocopherols with 200 iu of the alpha kind and eating raw nuts and avocados for vitamin E and taking 200 mg of alpha lipoic acid to boost the effectiveness of the vitamin C & E in addition to the extra vitamin C may be a good idea.
Eating blueberries and other foods that are quite high in antioxidants would also make sense.
The extra benefit even if significant radiation does not make it the United States from Japan is that it has now become much better known that you can get much better heart protection and possibly more slowing of your rate of aging if you take your resveratrol supplements with a drink at dinner.

Thanks for sharing, this is a very useful and interesting article, wake up for those overweight and obese person don't deny it just do some action to not aggravate the problem.
I OK'd this comment for two reasons despite it not being a good fit for the post.
Fat loss and the actions that produce it DO protect your heart. And, we do post on that and believe in doing it for those who need it!
Second, sites that help you keep up the actions that produce fat loss and help you join a group of people who are working to lose fat, DO tend to increase sucess.
I don't know this site. But it may be worth checking out.
