"  Don&amp;#039;t have time for a visit to the gym today? Don&amp;#039;t worry - just pour yourself a healthy glass red wine at dinner instead.

Long-term spaceflight has been known to result in muscle atrophy, insulin resistance, bone loss, and other physiological complications. Researchers have been looking for a way to solve such issues with spaceflights. The study subjected two groups of rats to simulated weightlessness. One group was given resveratrol and the other was not. The group that was not given the phenol showed a decrease in muscle mass, an increase in insulin resistance, and a loss of bone mineral density. The rats that were given resveratrol saw none of these complications.
