Scientists have named a fruit that slows down the aging process
Drinking pomegranate juice slows down the aging process, inhibits the development of heart disease and cancer. This conclusion was reached by scientists from the Amazentis Research Laboratory and the Laboratory of Integrative Systems Physiology.
According to the Express, they experimented on fruit flies. The effect of eating pomegranate was obvious. In addition to increased physical activity, the life expectancy of male insects increased by 18%, and the life expectancy of females by 8%.
Scientists also report that pomegranate contains urolithin A, which improves the functioning of the mitochondrion in cells. This helps prevent muscle weakness, increases life expectancy, and protects against heart disease and cancer.
The latter fact was previously proven in the case of prostate cancer. Its main indicator is prostate-specific antigen (PSA). Men whose PSA levels double in a short time are at increased risk of dying from prostate cancer.
Drinking 237 ml of pomegranate juice per day slows down the PSA doubling time from 15 to 54 months, thereby reducing the risk of cancer.
