It can help to prevent heart disease, relieve stress and has even been shown to improve your sex life.
石榴可以防止心脏病，缓解压力，甚至可以提高性生活质量。

And if that was not enough to convince you to try pomegranate, the fruit is now being hailed as the elixir of youth.
如果这些都还不足以说服你尝尝石榴，那么我要告诉你：石榴现在已经被誉为是永葆青春的长生不老药。

A £2million study has found a daily dose could slow the ageing process of DNA.
一项花费200万英镑的实验研究发现，每天吃一点石榴，可以延缓DNA的老化速过程。

An extract of the whole fruit – including pith, peel and seeds – was given to 60 volunteers every day for a month in the form of a capsule.
研究者每天为60位参与者每人发放一枚“石榴胶囊”，胶囊里是用整颗石榴榨成的汁（里面包括果核和果皮），坚持服用一个月。

Researchers monitored the activity of chemicals in their bodies compared with those who took a placebo.
研究者监测了参与者体内化学物质的活动，并与服用空白对照剂的对照组进行比较。

They found a significant decrease in a marker associated with cell damage, which can cause impaired brain, muscle, liver and kidney function as well as ageing effects on the skin.
他们发现与细胞损伤相关的一处标记出现了显著的下降。这种细胞损伤会造成大脑、肌肉、肝脏和肾脏功能的损害，还会造成皮肤的老化。

This decrease – a hitherto unknown benefit of consuming pomegranate – is thought to slow down the oxidation, or ‘rusting’, of the DNA in cells which naturally occurs over time, according to researchers at the private ProbelteBio laboratory in Murcia, Spain.
根据西班牙穆尔西亚ProbelteBio私人实验室的研究学者们的观点，这种因为食用石榴带来的下降现象虽然目前原因未知，但是他们认为应该是减缓了细胞内DNA的氧化速度。
