Pomegranates can slow the aging process by stimulating the cells to regenerate and repair themselves, according to a report from The Daily Telegraph. But before you decide to buy the fruit, keep in mind that this study is based on prune and mice.A substance called Urolithins is produced from intestinal bacteria when digesting such as pineapple, cereal, and berries. The researchers found that one of these foods may produce Urolithin A, which can increase the risk of rhinoceropia. It also enhances muscle function in mice.
Urolithin seems to enhance muscle strength by influencing the cell's Mitochondria. This biological compound is often regarded as the cell's battery because it is part of the cell for converting food into Energy. As more and more ages, there will be a decrease in Mitochondria's function. Research indicates that Urolithin A makes the cells overcome the damage caused by Mitochondria and also improves the production of Mitochondria as a substitute.
No matter if similar results will happen to humans, this study is expected to be very strong. Older adults can be more robust in the muscles, as well as in the heart and the lungs through regular physical activity.
