A substance found in red wine can help keep the brain young in a way similar to exercise and a low-calorie diet, scientists have discovered. Resveratrol, which occurs in the skin of grapes, blueberries and mulberries, can keep muscles supple and help protect connections between neurons in the brain, said researchers in Virginia Tech Carilion Institute. Tests on mice showed the compound slowed brain ageing by preserving synapses called neuro-muscular junctions. Red wine contains more Resveratrol than white wine because it is fermented with the grape skins.
