Researchers from the Universities of Exeter and Brighton have said that moderate consumption of dark chocolate and red wine helps the body resist aging longer. These products contain special chemical compounds - they contribute to the preservation of youth.
Allow yourself red wine and eat it with dark chocolate. Lorna Harris, a professor of molecular genetics at the University of Exeter, said new research results suggest that these products can "treat" old cells by restoring some of the functions of young cells.
Scientists believe that aging is closely related to the body's susceptibility to diseases.
"One of the reasons a person becomes more susceptible to disease is that tissues accumulate senescent cells. That is, they are alive, but do not grow and do not function fully. Chemical compounds contained in red wine, dark chocolate and blueberries will help to overcome this problem," said Professor Lorna Harris.
In turn, Dr. Eva Latori, who conducted experiments with the specified components, reported that the degree and speed of changes in cells under the influence of these substances were so significant that it was "real magic."
Earlier research by American doctors showed that grapes have a strong sedative effect and help to neutralize many disorders of the nervous system. At the same time, the experts stated: on the basis of the organic compounds of the wine berry, it is possible to produce a DNA vaccine, and to select it based on the characteristics of a particular person's body.
The authors of other works pointed out that red dry wine has a positive effect on the work of the heart in people with diabetes, and chocolate protects the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
