Health Benefits of Pomegranate Fruit

 

Studies from Israel have shown that pomegranate juice is capable of fighting breast cancer cells whilst leaving the healthy cells alone. It has also been shown to slow the growth of prostate cancer and prevent lung cancer. Studies have demonstrated that prescription-strength orlistat helps people lose 5 or 6 pounds more than placebo.

Studies also show that the antioxidants in pomegranates can reduce plaque buildup on artery walls and lessen stress on the cells lining the blood vessels. The results of a study involving pomegranate juice and the heart showed that when treated with pomegranate juice, heart cells produced 50% more nitric oxide, a secretion that helps blood cells to relax.

Pomegranate juice has excellent antioxidant properties. It has about three times more antioxidants ounce for ounce than does red wine or green tea . Pomegranate juice is also under clinical studies for alleged anti-cancer properties as well. Pomegranate arils (or seeds) juice is the secret inside this fruit. This juice provides an adult with 16% of their Daily requirement of Vitamin C per 100 ml serving.

The arils (or seeds), they're kind of like really small grapes, all packed inside the fruit. Personally, I find it a bit a pain to dig all edible parts out. Fortunately, they're in season at my local farmers market and they're sooooo good! Plus they're one of those things like sunflower seeds that takes some work to eat.

Further study shows that Pomegranate juice has been shown to work well as a blood thinner. Some research has shown it may be an excellent agent for promoting blood flow to the heart. Pomegranates, dubbed "the fruit of the month" by the Centers for Disease Control, are quickly becoming known as a miracle fruit. It has been said to fight heart disease, Alzheimer's, and prostate cancer, just to name a few. Pomegranate juice has a sweet, slightly tangy flavor and is an excellent source of vitamin C. However, its real health benefit is in their protective antioxidants.

Oh! and did i mention? Pomegranates are also rich in Iron, vitamin A E and C and have three times more antioxidants than green tea or red wine. I have done a LOT of research and according to what I have read, pomegranates are a natural healing fruit. *This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
