According to a recent study by Husam Ghanim, PhD, of the University of Buffalo, the plant extract resveratrol, found in the skin of red grapes, reduces inflammation in humans. Inflammation is often a precursor to heart disease, stroke, heart attack, and type 2 diabetes. In roundworms, fruit flies, and yeast, resveratrol has actually reduced the rate of aging. Other foods containing resveratrol include: wine, peanuts, blueberries, and cranberries.
