Eating this fruit increases your life expectancy
For strong health, diet is key. A study has just demonstrated the miraculous benefits of a tasty and inexpensive fruit.
Researchers from the Institute of Nutrition and Health in Shanghai (China), published a study in the scientific journal Nature Metabolism. According to the findings of scientists, it has been shown that eat a particular fruit every day would live longer and healthier.
Indeed, Chinese experts have discovered a natural compound called “Procyanidin C1” (PCC1). This compound attacks aging cells, “senescent cells”.
What are the benefits of grape seeds?
This natural compound is present in grape seeds. To prove the benefits of PCC1, the researchers conducted trials on guinea pigs. A first group of 2-year-old mice (at the end of life) received a dose of this natural compound by injection. Another group of mice received a control substance twice a week.
The total lifespan of mice given procyanidin was lengthened by about 9% compared to those in the other group. Following this experiment, the scientists concluded that PCC1 has a power over life expectancy and slowing aging.
But these are not the only benefits of grape seeds! It was also observed that mice given PCC1 were in better physical shape. Those suffering from tumors saw a reversal of the degeneration of their organs, a result similar to the administration of chemotherapy.
