The French Paradox

As it turns out, the so-called "French Paradox" (low rates of cardiovascular disease but high rates of red wine consumption) may be due to the imbibing of red wine as well as the consumption of moldy cheese: http://www.thefrisky.com/2012-12-13/is-moldy-cheese-the-key-to-the-french-health-paradox/

NAD+ and Resveratrols

Elysium Health (founded by Dr Leonard Guarente at MIT) is theorizing that a NAD+ precursor (nicotinamide riboside) combined with a resveratrol variant (pterostilbene) may have synergistic effects in promoting longevity. NAD+ is crucial to DNA repair and energy production and declines with age. Pterostilbene is found in almonds, lingonberries, grape leaves, and blueberries: https://www.buzzfeed.com/nidhisubbaraman/age-no-more?utm_term=.kxkdQxPnV#.ojgRJ0Gde
