Want to know about the secret of a long and healthy life? A new study has suggested trying some tomato seeds for this.

Researchers in Britain have found that a natural ingredient in tomato seeds, called the ‘Fruitflow’ which was discovered by the Prof Asim Dutta Roy of the Rowett Institute who is an Indian by origin in 1999, is a key component to a long and healthy life.

“According to the researchers, the ingredient, derived from the gel around tomato seeds, prevents blood from becoming sticky and clotting”, the ‘Daily Mail’ reported.

Clinical trials have revealed that the colorless and tasteless gel can help to uphold a healthy blood circulation by preventing the clumping of blood platelets which can lead to clots.

This gel works by altering the characteristics of platelets, which are tiny cells in the blood. Normally they are smooth, but inflammation in the blood vessels, i.e. caused due to smoking, high cholesterol and stress, cause them to become bristly and so they stick together, forming the clots.

Prof Dutta Roy also added, “Till date, no side effects

have been confirmed during the progress of Fruitflow.”
