Why are walnuts and pomegranates considered longevity foods?
The answer has to do with urolithin A. Foods like pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, and walnuts contain ellagitannins, which are converted into urolithins in the stomach and intestines as a metabolic product. However, some people lack the bacteria that produce urolithins and therefore need to supplement this substance with external supplements.
Mechanism: Activating Mitochondria Autophagy
Urolithin A promotes mitochondrial autophagy, a crucial process in Ganshan cells. When mitochondria become damaged or age, Urolithin A can eliminate these aged cells.
