Seattle, WA November 17, 2009 — With the skill of a surgeon, the smarts of a scientist, and an unbiased perspective, a top cosmetic surgeon has written the most up to date guide to wine and anti-aging. Dr. Richard Baxter’s “Age Gets Better with Wine: New Science for a Healthier, Better, and Longer Life” explores how we age and why a glass of wine with meals may just be what the doctor orders.
Intent on helping his patients combat aging in addition to helping them look their best, Baxter has reviewed over 2500 scientific studies to find the most reliable data. Volumes have been written on this topic by dozens of experts in specific fields, but nothing offers the whole current picture for health conscious consumers seeking to make informed choices. Dr. Baxter reveals the most current findings in wine polyphenol research and the benefits of moderate consumption of red wine, such as:
Drink wine: its an age old formula for a rich old age, thousands of years in the making. The resveratrol found in wine is a powerful antioxidant that is stronger than other antioxidant vitamins. Vitamin W has remarkable anti-aging properties and there is powerful scientific evidence that it holds the key to preventing everything from cancer to cavities. A glass of red wine a day with a meal is the suggested dose. In fact, epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that people who drink wine in moderation (one 5-oz. glass per day for women, two for men) live an average of five years longer than nondrinkers, and are healthier by several measures. However we dont know yet whether taking a resveratrol supplement will have the same effect, and what works in mice may not work for humans. We dont even know if resveratrol is the most important polyphenol in wine. So for now, continue your vice and enjoy a glass of wine, says Baxter.
