Pomegranate and All Its Benefits

Pomegranate is so much more than just a delicious fruit.

Pomegranate, and pomegranate juice, are often considered superfoods because of their antioxidants, nutrients, minerals, anti-inflammatory properties, and more. Here are some of the benefits:

• Protects your arteries and reduces plaque.
• Improves blood and lymphatic circulation.
• One of the best sources of the polyphenol ellagic acid and other antioxidants such as anthocyanins and vitamin C.
• In a study published in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry, researchers found that pomegranate juice has 3 times the antioxidant activity of green tea and red wine.
• In a later study, 25 of the most commonly consumed fruits were compared using the CAA assay (cellular antioxidant activity).  Wild blueberries and pomegranates showed the highest ability to neutralize free radicals.
