 Resveratrol's metabolic action to protect against aging is unveiled, say scientists. Over the years, resveratrol has garnered much attention because of studies finding that it may have profound health benefits through its effects on aging. Now, researchers from the Laboratory of Obesity and Aging Research at the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute report that they may have found the way in which this natural compound—present in red wine, dark chocolate, and some other fruits and vegetables—works.
The study, published this month in the journal Cell, bears importance because it’s the best explanation yet of resveratrol’s mechanisms for controlling pathways of energy regulation and mitochondrial health that scientists say are similarly affected by caloric restriction. This new understanding will likely provide the foundation for future resveratrol research.

H.I.T.T. flies in the face of traditional, “steady state” cardiovascular workouts, by incorporating short bursts (15 to 30 seconds) of maximal exertion with intervals of low intensity exercise.
