Regular consumption of pomegranate reduces the risk of cardiovascular and various bacterial and viral infections
Pomegranate is not a traditional fruit for our country and yet, it can be found in any large store. It is a source of many vitamins, minerals and valuable nutrients such as protein, fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, folic acid and potassium. Pomegranate is one of the most used fruits in diets for weight loss due to its low caloric value. But in addition to this effect, regular consumption of pomegranate gives a number of other benefits.
A new study reveals that pomegranate juice is very suitable during pregnancy. The results of a clinical study show that mothers whose babies have been diagnosed with "intrauterine growth retardation" by taking pomegranate juice daily have a positive effect on the baby's development. Pomegranate supports the development of the brain and brain activity of the baby during fetal development.
Regular consumption of pomegranate can protect you from diseases such as type 2 diabetes and obesity. The fruit also supports intestinal health and regular bowel movements. Daily consumption prevents the risk of constipation due to the content of natural fiber.
Pomegranate maintains heart health . Regular intake of the fruit or its juice can maintain good blood circulation. This property reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. The antioxidants contained in the fruit reduce the oxidation of bad cholesterol and therefore have a protective effect on the process of atherosclerosis.
Reduces inflammation of the joints . Joint pain is severe, reduces quality of life and often leads to changes in joints and cartilage. Pomegranate contains many enzymes that work to reduce non-purulent inflammation in the body and in particular arthritic inflammation of the joints.
Pomegranate has strong antibacterial properties . Like honey, this delicious fruit has amazing antibacterial properties. It has an anti-inflammatory effect and eliminates pathogenic microorganisms. Researchers in South America have found that pomegranate juice extracts have a strong broad-spectrum effect against a number of bacteria. For this reason, the juice is extremely suitable for regular consumption during the autumn season.
The antiviral properties of pomegranate are broad-spectrum - including against the AIDS virus. The authors of the study emphasize the healing properties of the fruit and advise people to consume it more often, especially during the autumn season.
