A lot of us also associate aging with the common diseases and effects of aging such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, low bone density, high blood pressure and more. Would you agree?
If you do, then prepare to become VERY excited about our new patent pending RevUp31 formula which contains one of the HOTTEST all-natural antioxidants on the market today which through many laboratory test and trials has been PROVEN to slow down and in some instances reverse the aging process! Let's read on...
Activating the Human Anti-aging Gene... the EASY Way
Did you know that you have an anti-aging gene in your body? Amazing isn't it! Doctors refer to it as Gene 31 (hence the RevUp31 name!). But unfortunately for us all, Gene 31 is not very active in our bodies. The fortunate news is, it CAN be activated!
Gene 31 is packed full of so many benefits that if consistently active in our bodies, it could considerably change our lives almost immediately. We can summarize the main, basic functions of Gene 31 in humans to repairing DNA and suppressing certain "bad" genes. It is these "bad" genes that can cause the proper functioning of cells to be destroyed, which can lead to the beginning of many diseases people suffer as they age. (2) Once activated, this amazing Gene 31 plays a critical role in fighting many of the diseases of aging, such as heart disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, diabetes, even cancer! Some doctors believe that as we get older, it actually becomes more difficult for Gene 31 to fight all of these "bad" genes that cause these diseases.(13) As a result, perhaps this is why so many people end up with one or more of these conditions we associate with old age.
Aside from common diseases of aging, Gene 31 can also be effective in lowering cholesterol, blood pressure, and assisting in weightloss!(1) So we ALL obviously want this amazing Gene 31 to become more active in our bodies! Let's get to the details of how this can occur.
Do you like to go on diets, follow strict eating plans, eat foods you dislike, and eat a lot less than you'd prefer? Research has shown that DIETING is one very effective way offiring up Gene 31. Here is how it works - consuming less calories causes a build up of a substance called nictotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) in the cells of your body. NAD is usually busy converting glucose in the foods you are eating into energy. But if you are dieting and therefore eating less... NAD soon runs out of work and needs something else to do.
Turns out, NAD begins activating this powerful, yet relatively quiet anti-aging gene in our bodies - Gene 31!
Now obviously we'd like Gene 31 to be A LOT more active in our bodies. So the BIG QUESTIONS are...
Is there anything that acts like NAD in terms of activating our anti-aging Gene 31? If we don't like the idea of dieting, is there a way to "trick" Gene 31 into thinking we are dieting? Can we mimick the anti-aging results of dieting, without actually dieting? Is there a pill that will just diet for us? Is there a natural substance that will activate Gene 31?
Amazingly, the answer is YES!
It's called Resveratrol and it's the KEY INGREDIENT in RevUp31!
With RevUp31 you get the anti-aging results of dieting, without the diet! You can start reversing the aging process AND fight against the diseases of aging, by doing nothing more than consuming Resveratrol in our RevUp31 nutritional supplement!
Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant found in plants, certain nuts, and in heavy concentrations in the skins of red grapes. Resveratrol is produced naturally by plants when they are under attack by environmental stresses such as bacteria or fungi. Resveratrol acts as a toxin to fight off unwanted attacking organisms in the plant's cells. Resveratrol is a plant's defense system. (21, 22)
More On Resveratrol...
We've already mentioned that Resveratrol helps keep cells in our body safe from free radicals. We discussed its effects on the diseases related to aging. We mentioned its anti-aging benefits. Other recent studies claim that Resveratrol can improve the performance of the brain and heart, and increase the life-span of the cells in our bodies. Many nutritionists and health professionals prescribe Resveratrol for people with a poor immune system or who are recovering from an illness. Others prescribe it as an anti-inflammatory.
What doctors are mainly focusing on is increasing the human lifespan by activating the body's natural, genetic defenses against diseases using the Resveratrol which is found in our RevUp31 formula. Imagine being 90 years old and living like a 60 year old! Imagine being 90 and playing tennis, running around with the grandkids, watching them graduate from college, traveling the world.
What is so interesting about the fact that Resveratrol is found in high concentration in grapes, is the fact that French people typically have a fattier diet than Americans, yet they have less health issues that Americans. Particularly, the number of heart attacks amongst Europeans in general compared to Americans is staggeringly lower. (5)
This interesting finding is why people say red wine is good for your heart. As 60 Minutes reported in January 2009, scientists believe that the Resveratrol in red wine might do even more than just keep the heart healthy. In high concentrations they feel it could significantly extend life by preventing a number of age related illnesses.
In the 60 Minutes presentation one doctor said, "Our goal is to prevent and forestall many of the diseases that strike us as we reach 50, 60, and 70. All with one pill. I think we can slow down these genes that control the aging process."
Now speaking of high concentrations, lab studies found that a 150 lb person would have to consume 750 - 1,000 bottles of red wine every day to get enough Resveratrol necessary to achieve the results these studies are looking for.(14) Thanks to RevUp31, you can get the effects of copious amounts of red wine in one simple daily dosage!
Let's take a more detailed look at some of Resveratrol's powerful effects on the body...
The Brain - Dementia and Mental Functions
In November 2008, researchers at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University reported that Resveratrol significantly reduced plaque formation in the brain, a component of Alzheimers. They feel that oral doses of Resveratrol may reduce plaque associated with aging changes in the brain. (15)
Heart Disease
Resveratrol has been found to improve cardiovascular performance, prevent the absorption of copper (copper deficiency is a potential cause of heart failure), help maintain the heart's oxygen supply, prevent the buildup of plaque in the arteries and stop the constriction of blood vessels.(5)
Cholesterol
Resveratrol has also been found to neutralize "bad" LDL cholesterol while increasing "good" HDL cholesterols, which would reduce plaque build up in arteries which leads to heart attacks. (4)
Cancer
A 2008 study by researchers at the University of Nebraska suggest that Resveratrol may have some preventative benefits against breast cancer by disrupting the initial step that occurs when estrogen begins the process leading to cancer.
Researchers found that Resveratrol inhibits the growth of many types of cancer cells, including Leukemia, skin and prostate cancers, and reduces the incidence of tumors. Resveratrol has the potential to act as an alternative to synthetic hormone replacement therapy, which is known to increase the risk of breast cancer. (6, 7)
Cardiovascular System
Some studies suggest that the antioxidant properties of Resveratrol decreases the "stickiness" of platelets that form blood clots. (12)
Poor Diet
Resveratrol was found to counteract the life threatening effects of a high-fat diet by confronting and fighting 144 out of 153 gene pathways that had been altered by a high-fat diet. (2)
Diabetes
Scientists at the Peninsula Medical School in England discovered that Resveratrol protects blood vessels from cell damage which typically result from high glucose levels associated with Diabetes. It is the hope of many researchers that Resveratrol has the potential to greatly improve the treatment of Diabetes.
Weight Loss
When we diet or restrict the amount of calories we consume a natural reaction in our body is to activate Gene 31, our survival gene, which breaks down stored fat and increases energy levels. Numerous studies have shown that Resveratrol does the exact same thing.(18) Including Resveratrol as a supplement just may assist weightloss efforts, but without the diet. Weight loss and calorie restriction have also been proven effective against anti-aging, meaning if we take Resveratrol we may look healthier and feel younger.
Lowered Blood Sugar
A new study suggests that the Resveratrol can affect the enzymes involved in regulating glucose (blood sugar), and therefore could be an important component to maintaining healthy blood sugar levels. (11)
Increase Quality and Length of Life
Multiple studies have found that Resveratrol can extend the life span of certain cells in our bodies by as much as 70%. Its ability to replicate the effects of calorie restriction, to boost the immune system and prevent a variety of diseases are all indicators that Resveratrol may play a huge role in increasing life span and quality of life.
