Scientists have discovered that urolithin A — a compound produced by gut bacteria from foods like pomegranates and walnuts — dramatically improves heart function in animal studies, even reversing stiffness and boosting performance by up to 80%.

While eating more pomegranates won’t cure it yet, this research underscores how diet and gut health may protect the heart — and could lead to new therapies down the road.
