It is believed through recent study that pomegranate juice may help keep fatty deposits from collecting on artery walls. In one study, mice who were given pomegranate juice were able to reduce this build up by over 30%. However these results do not directly translate to humans but it does show that pomegranate juice antioxidant may be a very valuable tool for preventing hardening of the arteries and such related diseases such as heart attacks and strokes. Pomegranate juice is high in fibre and has substantial amounts of potassium which is important in sending nerve impulses as well as releasing energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrates during metabolism. It contains vitamin C and niacin too. If you have anemia then take notice as pomegranates are thought to contain very high levels of iron. Pregnant women take note too. The womb lining (endometrium) where the actual implant of fertilised eggs takes place almost entirely consists of blood and pomegranates contain high levels of cobalt which is an essential raw material for the synthesis of blood. Cobalt also contributes to the colour of the fruit too. Phytochemicals in Pomegranate juice help prevent heart disease and cancer. Anyone For Pomegranate Tea?Fancy a cup of pomegranate tea? Not only is it a refreshing healthy drink it can also help with diaoherra as the Iron and cobalt have a stool binding effect. I won't go into detail but just trust me when I say it really does work! Boil the skin of half a pomegranate in half a litre of water for 15-20 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes then strain. Drink one cup with a little honey twice daily on an empty stomach. Always sip slowly and avoid drinking too hot as this can irritate the stomach lining. Check out this great tasting and healthy Pomegranate and Blueberry smoothie!
