Pomegranates prevent ageing process, study finds

Pomegranates have been found to stop the clock after a £2million study has found a daily dose could slow the ageing process of DNA.

An extract of the whole fruit in a capsule - including pith, peel and seeds - was given to 60 volunteers every day for a month at Spanish laboratory ProbelteBio.

Compared to those who took a placebo, researchers found a significant decrease in a marker associated with cell damage, which can cause impaired brain, muscle, liver and kidney function as well as ageing effects on the skin.
