Pomegranates are one of the most nutritious fruits on Earth. They produce a number of beneficial plant compounds that are unrivalled by other foods. Studies have shown that they can have many benefits for your health, probably reducing your risk of various diseases.

 

Antioxidants

Pomegranate seeds have a bright red color from polyphenols. These chemicals are potent antioxidants. Pomegranate juice comprises of more antioxidants than most other fruit juices. It also contains three times as many antioxidants as red wine and green tea. Antioxidants in pomegranate juice can help to eliminate free radicals, protect cells from destruction and minimize inflammation.

 

Cancer prevention

Pomegranate juice has recently splashed as researchers have discovered that it can help inhibit the development of prostate cancer cells. Despite several research on the impact of juice on cancer of the prostate, the findings are only preliminary. Although long-term human tests have not demonstrated that pomegranate juice stops cancer or decreases the risk, adding it to your diet will certainly not harm. So far, encouraging findings have been obtained in trials, and wider trials are now underway.

Pomegranate juice can minimize inflammation in the intestine and boost digestion. It can be useful to patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, and other inflammatory bowel diseases. Although there is contradictory opinion and evidence as to whether pomegranate juice helps or worsens diarrhea, most doctors recommend stopping it until you feel better and the symptoms have subsided.

 

Heart disease

Pomegranate juice is the most heart-healthy juice on the run. It seems to strengthen the heart and the arteries. Small tests have shown that juice increases blood supply and prevents the arteries from becoming hard and dense. It can also prevent the occurrence of plaque and the build-up of cholesterol in the arteries. However, pomegranate can respond adversely with blood pressure and cholesterol medications such as statins.

 

Sexual performance and fertility

The abundance of antioxidants in pomegranate juice and the capacity to affect oxidative stress make it a possible fertility support. Oxidative stress has been found to induce sperm failure and reduced fertility in women. The juice has also been found to help reduce the oxidative stress of the placenta. But researchers really don't know the exact advantages that this will offer. Drinking pomegranate juice will also increase testosterone levels in both men and women, one of the key hormones behind sex drive.
