Together with a team of researchers in England, Eva Latorre studied how wine and dark chocolate affects the body’s cells. In the experiment, researchers used red wine, dark chocolate, red grapes and blueberries.
They all contain chemicals that are known to be anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
Rejuvenated in just a few hours
When they treated the cells with the chemical substances of these foods, the researchers could see that the cells were rejuvenated just a few hours after treatment, which Eva Latorre describes as being “like magic”.
New way to slow down aging
Now scientists hope their discovery can be used to slow down the body’s aging, by resetting functions of those aging.
“This is a first step in trying to make people live normal lifespans, but with health for their entire life,” research leader Professor Lorna Harries said in an interview with The University of Exeter.
I can think of worse ways to try and counter wrinkles than to eat chocolate and drink red wine.
I’m pretty happy with this research discovery, anyway! Share if you know anyone else who’ll be glad to hear about it.
