Studies often mention the health benefits of resveratrol supplements. Known as an anti-aging product, resveratrol is found in grape skin extract and many supplements claim that regular intake of resveratrol may help to prolong life.
A new study may add another benefit from the “red wine” supplement. A first-of-a-kind government sponsored study examining whether resveratrol can alter or delay the destruction of the brain in people with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease is set to take place soon.
In this particular study, participants will be given capsules of pure resveratrol, a substance generally found in the skin of red grapes, tomatoes, dark chocolate and nuts. Animal studies have shown it activates a gene that protects the body and brain from aging. The greatest risk factor for Alzheimer’s is aging and, therefore, researchers will do baseline tests to identify biological markers of the disease and then other tests throughout the study to determine whether it is progressing. By the study’s end, participants receiving resveratrol will be given 1,000 mg twice a day, a level of dosing can’t be duplicated by sipping wine or eating bits of chocolate.
About 5.3 million Americans have Alzheimer’s, a fatal illness that has no treatment or cure. The government’s National Alzheimer’s Project Act is behind the push to find new treatments and a cure for Alzheimer’s by 2025.

Additionally, Chandler Farm products are 100% palm oil free, helping to support a very important environmental cause.
Palm Oil is found in food, bio-fuel, and body care products. Over harvesting of palm oil has threatened the survival of the Orangutan in the wild, with the current rate of harvesting, the Orangutan could be extinct from the wild in as soon as 10 years. Palm Oil is harvested in Indonesia and the clear-cutting of these Indonesian rainforests displaces all living things within that ecosystem. After the Palm Oil is harvested, the remnants of the clear cutting are then generally burned, and this burning releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than fossil fuels.
Chandler Farm follows the industries strictest standards for ingredient use, meeting all national premium body care standards, and avoids using Palm Oil to provide a better environment for the creatures of the Indonesian Rainforest. Chandler Farm donates a portion of its profits to The Phelps Great Ape Foundation.

A new study from Harvard researchers suggests that eating blueberries and strawberries may stave off memory decline and memory loss that comes with aging.
For the study, researchers looked at data from the long-running Nurses’ Health Study of nearly 122,000 registered nurses between the ages of 30 and 55 who completed health questionnaires starting in 1976. Every four years the nurses were surveyed on their eating habits and between 1995 and 2001, researchers began testing memory in 16,000 of the nurses who by this time were over 70 years old.
Testing the subjects’ memory in two-year intervals, the researchers found nurses who ate the most blueberries and strawberries delayed their memory decline up to 2.5 years compared with those who did not report eating berries. The findings are published in the April 26 issue of the Annals of Neurology.
“What makes our study unique is the amount of data we analyzed over such a long period of time. No other berry study has been conducted on such a large scale,” study author Dr. Elizabeth Devore, a researcher in the Channing Laboratory at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a professor at Harvard Medical School in Boston, said in a hospital news release. ”
Berries might provide a safe and easy way to boost brain power. Natural supplements for brain support may also be an effective way to stay focused.

If you are looking for healthy snacks, you need to consider adding sunflower seeds to your list. A delicious and nutritious way to help to improve your health, sunflower seeds can be eaten raw, roasted, or used for flavor and texture in a variety of meals.
Many people are unfamiliar with the benefits of eating sunflower seeds from vitamins and minerals, to lowering the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes. Often considered the “unofficial snack” of baseball and softball, sunflower seeds availability has increased recently and sunflower oil has also become a top selling item in health food stores.
The oil is typically extracted by applying great pressure to the sunflower seeds and collecting the oil which can be used for cooking and baking. The original sunflower oil (linoleic sunflower oil) is high in polyunsaturated fatty acids (about 68% linoleic acid) and low in saturated fats, such as palmitic acid and stearic acid.
Sunflower seeds have great nutritional value. In addition to linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid), sunflower seeds are also an excellent source of dietary fiber, amino acids such as tryptophan, protein, carbohydrates, vitamin E, many forms of vitamin B, and minerals such as copper, manganese, potassium, magnesium, iron, phosphorus, selenium, calcium and zinc. Available at your local market throughout the year, it can be an excellent alternative to replace cigarettes, smokeless tobacco and even gum.
Lastly, sunflower seeds are fairly affordable comparing to other nuts and healthy snacks. Just choose your favorite type, unsalted, salted, roasted, or organic, and start enjoying the benefits of this delicious healthy snack.

A recent research shows that consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids may guard against Alzheimer’s disease. The study author Yian Gu, an associate research scientist with the Taub Institute for Research in Alzheimer’s Disease and the Aging Brain at Columbia University in New York City says that previous studies showed the Mediterranean diet, characterized by fish, nuts, vegetables and a lower intake of red meat, was associated with a lower risk for Alzheimer’s.
Conducted among roughly 1,200 dementia-free patients over the age of 65, the findings relate the levels of a key Alzheimer’s-associated protein, beta amyloid, in the blood of the participants: the more omega-3 content in the diet, the lower the beta amyloid levels.
The nutrients included saturated fatty acids, omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, mono-unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, vitamin B12, folate and vitamin D. Nutrient intake in the form of food, not supplements, was included in the dietary analysis, the team noted. Blood testing revealed that, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity and educational background, the more omega-3 fatty acids consumed, primarily in the form of fish, poultry, margarine, nuts and salad dressing, the lower the beta amyloid levels found in the blood.
