Introduction:
My name is Roberta D. Cheatham. I am a Social worker and minister. I have been conducting analytical research to determine if there is a link between Resveratrol and seizures, both good and bad. However, additional research is needed.
hypothesis: Resveratrol can help to control seizure disorder or reduce the frequency of seizures. However, if to much is given it can cause a seizure as well.
“A study in healthy young adults showed that drinking 7.8 ounces (230 mL) of grape juice improved both mood and the speed of memory-related skills 20 minutes after consumption” (39 Trusted Source).
“What’s more, in a study in rats, 4 weeks of resveratrol intake improved learning, memory, and mood. In addition, the rats’ brains showed signs of increased growth and blood flow” (40 Trusted Source).
“Lastly, resveratrol may protect against Alzheimer’s disease by reducing brain inflammation and removing amyloid-beta peptide, the accumulation of which has been linked to this condition”(41 Trusted Source, 42 Trusted Source).
Resveratrol is a natural compound found in many plant foods, including grapes, peanuts, blueberries, and red wine. It's also present in some other fruits and nuts.
Foods that contain resveratrol
- Grapes: Red and purple grapes contain resveratrol, and you can also drink grape juice
- Peanuts: Raw peanuts contain resveratrol, but roasted peanuts have less
- Blueberries: Bilberries and blueberries contain resveratrol
- Cranberries: Cranberries contain resveratrol
- Raspberries: Raspberries contain resveratrol
- Mulberries: Mulberries contain resveratrol
- Red and white wine: Red and white wine contain resveratrol
- Cocoa and dark chocolate: Cocoa and dark chocolate contain resveratrol
- Apples: Apples contain resveratrol
- Plums: Plums contain resveratrol
According to Google, Resveratrol is an antioxidant that plants produce to protect themselves from UV light, fungal infections, stress, and injury. It's also been linked to health benefits for the heart, brain, and other organs.
Findings: I am writing because additional research is needed to prove my hypothesis.
- Tonic-clonic (grand mal): Loss of consciousness, stiffening of the body, and jerking movements. A small amount of wine can help reduce tonic-clonic seizure activity. Can be controlled by a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich.
- Absence (petit mal): needs a smaller amount of resveratrol, as Peanut butter and Jelly will contribute to a seizure.
- Drop seizures: small amounts of chocolate (Milk Chocolate) can help reduce seizures. A small amount of wine can help reduce seizure activity, as Peanut butter and Jelly will contribute to a seizure.
Also, Blueberry oil has been effective with the above seizure disorders.. But some individuals needed additional ingredients of milk chocolate.
Also, possible long-term seizure treatments are:
- blueberries & walnuts
- Walnuts & nutmeg
- Peanuts & walnuts
