The pomegranate, now in season, is packed with incredible benefits that can significantly boost your health, from supporting heart health to balancing blood sugar and reducing blood pressure.
Pomegranates are rich in antioxidants which help prevent atherosclerosis, a major cause of heart attacks. They also promote healthy blood flow, and can increase iron levels in those with anemia.
For diabetics, pomegranates can be very advantageous: they balance blood sugar levels and reduce blood oxidation by 72%, whereas grape sugar increases blood oxidation by 37%. Pomegranates also prevent atherosclerosis and capillary occlusion, a leading cause of death in diabetics.
Pomegranates can also have a beneficial effect on cartilage, joints, and skin. Pomegranate juice inhibits inflammatory components that damage cartilage.
Skin health is also greatly impacted by pomegranate consumption: solutions made from pomegranate seeds and peels prevent skin and collagen fiber aging and protect the skin from UV rays. Pomegranate extracts, rich in ellagic acid, prevent skin pigmentation and facial spots.
Additionally, pomegranates greatly strengthen the immune system. They have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties, helping with issues like salmonella and E. coli infections, oral health problems, candida infections, and more.
Pomegranates also fight cancer and inhibit prostate cancer cells. Research at the University of Wisconsin in the USA involved soaking cancer cells in pomegranate concentrate, and the study showed that the cells did not develop.
In conclusion, it is highly recommended to regularly consume pomegranates or 50 ml of pomegranate juice per day to maintain good health.
