Resveratol in grapes may lead to increased endurance

Next time you're running a marathon, get your fill of grapes beforehand. Why? Well, you may already know that Grapes are being touted as the new superfood because of a thing called Resveratrol, a nutrient that helps slow down the aging process. And resveratrol, it's now being said, is good for endurance too. Apparently, it increases the production of SIRT1, and this is linked to increased energy expenditure. So for increased energy and metabolism, why not grab a handful of grapes, or even some wine? It's still just preliminary findings, but apparently mice given Resveratrol have exhibited a number of benefits, including improved endurance and decreased amounts of fat.

Impressive, huh?
