According to researchers from the Federal Polytechnic School of Lausanne in France, said the magic ingredient of red wine is resveratrol.

Professor Johan Auwerx and his colleagues let worms in laboratory use resveratrol and they found that it help to increase the life span of these organisms and make them more actively.

Efforts to extend the life of the creatures began when the Swiss researchers found genes involved in the aging process. By studying mice with different lifetimes, they have discovered three genes’ activity, that plays a key role in the life of the organism. When the genes mentioned above only work half capacity, mice will live longer by 8 months, according to the research report published in the Nature paper

Professor Auwerx subsequently discovered, above 3 genes are also responsible for longevity in worms. The results are even more surprising when the impact of worm genes can prolong their life by up to 80%.

The researchers said the gene made a type of protein which is produced in large quantities is potentially reducing the lifespan of worms. He was thinking of two common antibiotics, which have the ability to prevent the production of such proteins for worms used for a trial. As a result, we increased the average of lifespan 60%.

The important thing is, the worms are also more active, have greater tolerance and possesses muscle fiber stronger. This feature allows them to bend; turning more intense while the worms do not use antibiotics became exhausted.
