The immortality elixir has been the stuff of dreams. For instance Indian mythology has tales of the gods and demons fighting it our for the mythical nectar. Well it turns out they need not have laboured so hard. The nectar was always just around the corner. In the vineyard next door, well at any rate in the wineshop next door!
Here is an excerpt from FORTUNE (now annoying called CNN money!)
"Resveratrol is the ingredient in red wine that made headlines in November when scientists demonstrated that it kept overfed mice from gaining weight, turned them into the equivalent of Olympic marathoners, and seemed to slow down their aging process".
If your an overfed man, and have not run the marathon (remember the marathon is 42 kms not a pleasant jog of 7 kms that most participated in the mumbai marathon and then proudly proclaimed to all and sundry "I ran the marathon") this might be the dream answer to your waistline problems. You may just grow to love that mirror!

Well think about it, the french eat the most (at least in the popular imagination) but live longer than most. Have amongst the lowest incidence of heart disease (Caveat : of the medical kind - there are few accurate records problems of heart of other descriptions!) and Why? Apparently because they consume red wine regularly. So say the scientists and the mice confirm!
So what are you waiting for.... next time you see that bottle! toast to you health!
