Pomegranates May Hold Key to Alzheimer's Prevention and Treatment
TL;DR
Researchers have found that urolithin A, a substance in pomegranates, strawberries, and walnuts, can help the brain remove damaged cells in mice with Alzheimer's disease. This process, known as mitophagy, helps clear out cellular debris that contributes to neurodegenerative diseases. While promising, further studies are needed to confirm its effects on humans and determine the appropriate dosage.
