Ageless Secrets of Pomegranate

It has long been known as the pomegranate fruit is beneficial to longevity and health. This fruit contains that maintain muscle strength and prolong life.

After testing the efficacy of pomegranate in worms and mice, scientists began testing the secret of youth in humans. Thanks to the simplicity which reduces the efficacy of aging on muscle, it will help prevent elderly people who became ill because of a fall and makes them live longer.

The secret of youth pomegranate lies in its ability to maintain the mitochondria, tiny batteries in our cell's always fully charged. Normally, mitochondria decreases with age, makes it less effective and toxic. An estimated it makes the muscles become weak.

Chemicals in pomegranate converted into compounds called urolithin A by bacteria in the gut. A Urolithin later helped fill the batteries in the cell body, namely mitokondira and prevent aging. In an experiment, the worms by urolithin A live 50 percent longer.

In another experiment, aging rats were able to run 42 percent farther after six weeks to get the substance. Experiments on humans are still running. Researchers hope this study in humans would be a success anyway.

Pomegranate has long been known to contain many health benefits, such as lower blood pressure and strengthen bones. This is a drink fruit juice at breakfast were popular in the Western world.

Pomegranate is also known as a symbol of fertility, mortality and immortality. Even believed that the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden was a pomegranate, not an apple.

Before rushing to buy this fruit, you should understand that pomegranate does not necessarily make us young. This is because the number of urolithin A contained in our body depends on the bacteria in the gut. If no, the substance was also not going to be produced.

Researchers from the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne founded the company that produced capsule urolithin A. Experiments on humans are being conducted. Involving 30 people who consume one capsule a day at breakfast. If successful, the capsule can be marketed as a supplement keeper muscle strength at the age of 50 years and over.

Researcher Patrick Aebischer said, "It's really a natural substance and the effect is strong and can be measured." While his colleague Johan Auwerz said, "The approach of nutrition open areas that have never been explored by traditional medicine. Real change happens in the paradigm of science."
