Resveratrol's effects on thinking, gut bacteria, and body inflammation after 12 weeks in overweight and obese adults

Updated

Abstract

Resveratrol may provide greater cognitive benefits in individuals with high body mass index (BMI) compared to healthy individuals.

  • Cognitive decline is potentially linked to high BMI through mechanisms such as hypertension, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, and inflammation.
  • Recent research indicates that gut health may influence inflammation in those with high BMI.
  • Polyphenols, including resveratrol, may have prebiotic effects that promote gut health.
  • These prebiotic effects could mediate anti-inflammatory responses in animal models.
  • Improved cognition in high BMI individuals may be supported by these mechanisms.
