My Resveratrol Experience - Side Effects, Benefits, Dosage, and Research Information

Living Longer: There's More to It Than Resveratrol Alone!

Focus on your "Healthstyle" to add healthy years to your life!

The headlines, news clips, and talk show segments are all touting the benefits of resveratrol. You hear the catch phrases almost daily now:

"The Fountain of Youth" - "Longevity in a Bottle" - "The French Paradox"

These headlines are being thrown around like they actually mean something. So who can blame us for getting caught up in what "could be" even though we are missing the reality.

We hear the professionals telling us to add resveratrol to our diets, but what most people miss is what else these professionals are saying...

"Resveratrol should be a part of an overall healthy lifestyle."

This doesn't mean you can eat high fat foods all day, washed down with a six pack of beer.  It doesn't mean you can sit on your couch and the only exercise you get is a trip to the fridge or bathroom. Just taking your "miracle" resveratrol pill won't solve the ailments created by an unhealthy lifestyle.

New Routines Are Hard, So "Fake It" if you want to Make It!

It's not always about the Resveratrol here at MRE.

Have you ever been forced to "put on a happy face" for an event or function?  You're going to be surrounded by people you have nothing in common with and on top of it you worked a 12 hour day on less than 4 hours of sleep.  We've all been there before!

So you put your smile on and do your best to engage in stimulating conversation.  It's hard at first, almost to the point it's painful, but as time goes by it gets easier and easier. Before you know it your, dare I say it, enjoying yourself!

You get home and your significant other asks you if you enjoyed the night.  Just as your about to spout out your answer of how horrible it was you think to yourself, "it actually wasn't that bad."  The question gives you reason to think about the actions that brought you to the point of actually enjoying your night.

Some times you just need to "fake it" to make it happen!

Whether you are changing your diet, starting a new fitness program, or trying to be a more positive person, When it comes to change it's not always as easy as saying you're going to do it.  You need to find ways to make change work and last.  I found the "fake it" method was surprisingly useful in accomplishing my goals.

Let me give you an example of how I used this method to start working out again...

A little can go a long way...

I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend!  Here in New Jersey we've been  fortunate to get some nice weather, so far... hopefully I didn't just jinx us.

I wanted to post a quick update regarding some more of my own personal experiences with resveratrol.  This past Monday I started increasing my dose.  I decided to try out a small theory of mine regarding the potential for muscle recovery benefits.  I am now taking 500mg of t-Resv about 45 minutes prior to working out and another 500mg about an hour after I finish working out.  So to recap I take a total of 1000mg on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.  The other days I continue to take 500mg per day once daily. I will do this for the next 4 weeks to see if I notice any positive effects with regards to my muscle recovery between workouts.  So far, I am unable to distinguish any real differences in recovery.  I'll keep you updated.
