I am a board-certified plastic surgeon and have been practicing in the Seattle area since 1990. So why is a plastic surgeon writing about wine and health? It all comes down to anti-aging; I realized that while I can help people look younger with plastic surgery, as a physician I felt compelled to see what I could learn about the aging process itself. What I found was that no matter where you start-heart health, brain aging, healthy skin, even cancer-all roads lead to the red wine phenomenon. There has been a tremendous upsurge in research on red wine compounds in recent years, and it all converges on the topic of anti-aging. There was a story that needed to be told, and Age Gets Better with Wine is the result.
Age Gets Better with Wine is the first comprehensive and up-to-date book about wine and health, written from an anti-aging point of view. While most are familiar with the “French paradox” and red wine’s heart health properties, research in recent years has revealed that substances called polyphenols have impressive abilities to combat a wide range of diseases including Alzheimer’s, cancer, diabetes, even the common cold. And red wine’s miracle molecule, resveratrol, may hold the key to slowing the aging process itself.
The news is so exciting that purveyors of resveratrol supplement pills have proliferated, but the effects of taking resveratrol in the necessary doses in humans is completely unknown, and there are potential risks. Age Gets Better with Wine tells you what you really need to know including what you probably won’t hear from your own doctor.
