The Hurry Cane: Surprising New Study Has Ramifications for Seniors

NEW YORK, NY, September 06, 2012

As the baby boom generation continues to age, an increasing number of American families are faced with the threat of a loved one experiencing a life-threatening fall. A recent article published on redOrbit reports Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in red grapes and red wine, could help reduce poor mobility issues that plague many seniors. This new information about the benefits of Resveratrol caught the attention of those behind the mobility solutions product The Hurry Cane.

According to the article, Resveratrol's potential benefit to mobility was announced at a recent American Chemical Society meeting. A research team led by Duquesne University pharmacology professor Jane E. Cavanaugh studied the molecule's effect on laboratory mice.

The research study measured the abilities of mice to maneuver a narrow walkway before, during and after they received a Resveratrol-rich diet. Old mice performed worse than young mice during the initial stages of the research. However, after four weeks of eating the special diet, the ability of the old mice to navigate the passageway improved to the levels of the young mice.

This research is significant as it suggests Resveratrol could also improve mobility in humans. Increased mobility would correlate with a decrease in harmful falls. The article indicated that falls cause the most injury to individuals over age of 65.

Courtney Hoefener at The Hurry Cane echoed this sentiment with a statement to the press. "As a society, mobility continues to be a highly researched topic. And the results can be surprising. Who would have thought a glass of wine could impact the wellness of our long- term mobility? When it comes to advancements in physiology, it's important for us as a company to stay in-the-know on this ever evolving topic."

The redOrbit report went on to say that Cavanaugh and the research team plan to study ways in which to harness the power of Resveratrol. It is difficult for the human body to absorb beneficial amounts of the antioxidant through a traditional diet, however. As such, the researchers are looking at ways synthetic compounds that share a chemical makeup similar to Resveratrol might benefit humans.
