You don't want to miss out on the health benefits of resveratrol and quercetin, but if you don't drink wine (which is high in both), where else can you find these two important compounds?
The good news is, it’s definitely possible to eat your way to the same advantages as drinking wine so get your plate ready! Resveratrol and Quercetin are heart-healthy antioxidants, and munching on foods with these compounds may be an even better way to consume them, since alcohol also carries health risks.
Here's some "Supplement 101" information about quercetin.
