Brainy Resveratrol

Nervous system contains our brain, spinal cord and the network of nerves. The major problems faced are Alzheimer’s, stroke and spinal cord injuries.
Brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease produce a peptide called beta-amyloid in excess. This peptide provokes oxidation stress killing cells and overloading with free radicals. It is observed that resveratrol adopts a pioneering technique while hunting down free radicals; thereby reducing the incidence to Alzheimer’s disease. This is similar to the antioxidant effects of brain protection as exhibited by Vitamins C and E.
Stroke is a clinical condition where somebody undergoes through severe brain or spinal trauma. The body’s response in furtherance to the symptoms is inflammations (this is very common in spinal cord injuries). Earlier steroids and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) were used, whereas it is proven that resveratrol blocks the free radicals and enhances the cell’s life and immune system. It ensures better energy compensation and ameliorates the inflammation response. This results in lesser brain and motor damage in the aftermath of the stroke.
A world of caution would be that the research on the effects is still very preliminary and therefore it cannot be assumed as the cure for all nervous system related problems, as it is very sensitive area to be dealt with.
