Some people say that a life without wine is not worth living.

Recent studies show that the specific compound named resveratrol which can be found in grape skins, peanuts and red wine may have the capacity to defend the body from some of the negative changes that appear due to obesity and they most often precede diseases like type two diabetes.

It is known that obesity can influence inflammation in the body and insulin insensitivity.

It took long studies on mice before testing the resveratrol compound on humans. Amongst the effects on rodents there were: extending the lives of obese specimens, increasing their endurance up to having twice more energy to run faster on treadmills.
