Can pomegranate aid heart failure treatment
A recent study has revealed that a compound called "Urolithin A," which the body produces after consuming pomegranates, may improve heart function, particularly in cases of heart failure where the heart struggles to relax. Experiments on mice showed that this compound led to an improvement in heart function indicators by up to 80%, and resulted in reduced heart scarring along with enhanced capacity for expansion and relaxation, linked to the activation of the protein "PKGIα." Despite these promising findings, researchers warned that it is not considered a definitive treatment, as human clinical trials have not yet been conducted. The British Heart Foundation also emphasized that a balanced diet remains the most important factor for heart health.
