Study shows pomegranate can slow ageing process

A new £2 million study has revealed how pomegranate could slow the ageing process, help to prevent heart disease and relieve stress.In the Spanish study, an extract of the whole fruit was given to 60 volunteers every day for a month as a capsule.

Researchers found a significant decrease in cell damage – which can cause problems with muscle, brain liver and kidney function.

Scientists believe this decrease slows down the oxidation, or ‘rusting’, of the DNA in cells.
