The Benefits of Calorie Restriction

Dr. Oz discusses resveratrol supplements, which may help people live longer.
If you eat natural foods and exercise, Dr. Oz says you may be able to extend your life by 20 years…just like that!

To give your cells an extra boost, Dr. Oz suggests a resveratrol supplement.

Learn the truth about Oprah, Dr. Oz and resveratrol.

"The resveratrol chemical, which is in red wine, when it's concentrated in this dose, in laboratory animals, it prolongs life expectancy," he says. "If you're interested in experimenting with this, do some homework on it."

To get the same benefits without a supplement, Dr. Oz says you'd have to drink more red wine than you can handle.

"It raises the big question of, 'Where will the proof be?'" he says. "But we've got to live a long time in order to prove that these kinds of things benefit us."
