Fabienne Aujard, from the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique in Paris, France, with a team of scientists recently document the effect a diet supplemented with resveratrol impacted both the weight, metabolism and energy intake of six mouse lemurs. (Mouse lemurs have nothing to do with rodents. they are only Found on the African island nation of Madagascar,these are mouse-sized primates part of the same group that includes both apes and humans.)

The study, published in the BMC Physiology journal, showed that after four weeks of resveratrol added to their diet  there were a significant decrease in both the animals’ food intake along with a reduction in the body-mass gain. What was also very interesting was that resveratrol had a significant effect on the changes of the animals’ body temperatures. It was found that resveratrol appears to reduce weight by increasing satiety (the feeling of being full) and also by increasing the resting metabolic rate, this is the  amount of energy expended while at rest so that the animals ended up burning up more calories even when not exercising.

“We’ve found that lemurs eating a diet supplemented with the compound (resveratrol) decreased their energy intake by 13 percent and increased their resting metabolic rate by 29 percent,”Dr. Aujard said in a statement to the press. “These results provide novel information on the potential effects of resveratrol on energy metabolism and control of body mass in a primate. The physiological benefits of resveratrol are currently under intensive investigation, with recent work suggesting that it could be a good candidate for the development of obesity therapies.”

The study where mice were fed a diet rich in polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids over a period of forty days. Was found it can actually prevent neural death, and strengthen neural networks.

“This information is particularly useful to those suffering from diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Since Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative disease, a diet high in polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids may be extremely beneficial. The regenerative properties of such a diet could act as a natural aid in the fight against cellular degeneration.

The study found that the mice that were given a diet high in polyphenols and polyunsaturated fats had a much higher rate of cell creation in these areas than the mice that were not. According to the study, these findings show that such a diet could indeed delay the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. It is possible that the diet could even determine the severity of Alzheimer’s.

The findings of this study help establish the effectiveness of natural health alternatives in addition to a properly constructed diet. Those suffering from neurodegenerative diseases now have other options when it comes to treating, or possibly halting, their conditions. In addition to a healthier lifestyle, a diet rich in polyphenols and polyunsaturated fats is a step in the right direction when it comes to reaching your health goals.”

RawTech was formed to make available healthful vegan and vegetarian foods and nutrition and to form a community of like-minded people. We favor raw foods, but some very nutritional and beneficial foods are simply not available raw. We carry these as well for you to choose from.

We are constantly researching for raw foods to add to our catalog, so if you want anything that you do not see here, please let us know and we’ll endeavor to carry them.

We believe that you do not have to follow a diet of completely raw foods to get the benefit of the raw foods that you eat. Some processes are done at temperatures just over what is considered to be the limit for raw. This is especially true of herbal extractions used as dietary supplements. The advantages of these products are simply too good to ignore and are represented at RawTech for you to choose from if you wish.

We are always willing to learn and value your feedback.

Wishing you a long and healthy life.

We look forward to helping people discover the power of superfoods.

We are happy to announce we are a supporter of The Fruit Tree Planting Foundation a nonprofit charity dedicated to planting edible, fruitful trees and plants to benefit the environment and all its inhabitants. Their mission is to plant and help others plant a collective total of 18 billion fruit trees across the world (approximately 3 for every person alive) and encourage their growth under organic standards.
