Many women like to eat some fruits after meals, which is also a good way to keep fit, especially some sour and sweet foods are very popular with women. For example, pomegranate as we know it is very common in our life. So, how to eat pomegranate can resist aging and thus beauty and skin care? Let's see how pomegranate plays an anti-aging and youthful role! 1. In the new study, 60 participants took 1 whole pomegranate (including skin, meridians and seeds) every day, and the study lasted 1 month. The researchers also tested the activities of various chemicals in these participants and compared them with some participants who took placebos.

2. The results of urine samples showed that the level of 8-Oxo-DG (a marker related to cell damage) in pomegranate capsule group was significantly lower than that in placebo group. Cell damage can lead to brain, muscle, liver and kidney function damage, and accelerate skin aging.

3. The researchers said that the decrease of this substance level will alleviate the "rust" (i.e. oxidation process) of DNA in cells. The effective components in pomegranate are few in fruit juice, mainly in pericarp, meridians and pomegranate seeds, which can be extracted and made into tablets or drinks. Dr Sego SteRittenberg, the head of the new research, said that oxidative aging is like "rust", which is a process that destroys human DNA. Inhibition of this oxidation process is a major breakthrough in anti-aging.

4. Pomegranate is especially delicious. Pomegranate is rich in vitamins A, C and E, iron and various antioxidants, which helps to neutralize harmful oxygen molecular free radicals in the body. Last year, scientists at Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh found that pomegranate juice can help overcome office stress. Therefore, eating pomegranate or drinking pomegranate juice often will make you healthier.
