Resveratrol may well be one piece in the puzzle of living longer. However, many people would do well to focus on simple markers which are known to shorten life for very many. Two obvious examples are: 1. Generalised inflammation, and 2. Homocysteine level. Identifying indications like these - from blood tests - would have the potential to stop many thousands dying early. Of course they would need to follow the necessary treatment; but in these two cases the treatment is usually fairly simple, and can be monitored by repeating the blood tests. Then they could reap the benefits of the (healthy) lifestyle choices they made and their inherited DNA. Cheers Malc Hi

Even if we don't feel as if something is wrong, today's lifestyles do wear on our bodies. With acupuncture and pulse diagnosis, you can catch any imbalances of energy and by re-balancing the body, stop further illness and encourage good health. Also, growing up in a Chinese home, I've always eaten meat, but the portions are smaller than "typical American" portions. My philosophy is a little bit of everything in moderation.
