Pomegranate is, if anything, one of the most beneficial fruits
known to men and have been used since ancient times as a healing fruit. Used to
prevent many forms of cancer, especially prostate cancer in men and even breast
cancer in women, pomegranate has regenerative properties, which can heal scars,
diminish wrinkles and prevent dark spots from appearing; which makes it an
effective natural anti-aging juice. The fruit has been known as a secret youth
potion in ancient times and an elixir of youth in modern days.Despite its
sweetness in the juices of these fruits, it is actually safe for diabetic and
pre-diabetic patients to drink pomegranate juice. Because pomegranate fructose
is structured differently, our body doesn’t digest the natural sugar in these fruits
as we do normal sugar. In fact, many Western doctors nowadays will put
pre-diabetic patients on daily doses of Pomegranate juice for as long as three
months up to a year to reverse the effect of early symptoms of diabetes.
Pomegranate
Juice Improves Your Heart Health:
Pomegranate juice can have a great impact on
health, particularly on the health of the heart, by keeping the arteries
flexible and decreasing the inflammation in the lining of the blood vessels. It
is known to reduce atherosclerosis, which is one of the leading causes of heart
disease. It lowers the risk of blockage in the arteries which can cause a
restriction in the flow of blood to the heart and brain. In other words it has
an anti-atherogenic effect on the heart. It lowers the amount of LDL or
bad cholesterol that is retained in the body and increases the amount of good
cholesterol or HDL.
Pomegranate Juice Reduces Risk Of Cancer:
Pomegranate juice eliminates free radicals from the body and
inhibits the growth and development of cancer and other diseases. Its high
contents of anti- oxidants stimulate the white blood cells to neutralize toxins
in the body thereby promoting a strong and healthy immune system. Pomegranate
is believed to induce apoptosis, a process where the cells destroy themselves.
Daily intake of a glass of pomegranate juice can slow down the growth of
cancerous cells in prostate cancer . Moreover it appears to block aromatase, an
enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen, a hormone which plays a crucial role
in the development of breast cancer.
Lowers blood pressure:
Pomegranates
help lower blood pressure by preventing the activity of serum
angiotensin-converting enzyme. Punicic acid is one of the main constituents of
pomegranates that help lower cholesterol, triglycerides and reduce blood
pressure. A study has shown that pomegranate components reduce risk factors for
heart disease, in patients with diabetes and high LDL levels of the blood.
Increases your libido:
Since
ancient times, pomegranates have been considered as a symbol of fertility.
According to a researchconducted
by researchers from Queen Margaret University, a glass of pomegranate juice
boosts testosterone levels in both men and women. This property makes natural
aphrodisiac that is great for your sex life. Also, studies suggest that
pomegranates contain certain compounds that are similar to sex steroids found
in the human system, explaining why it improves sex stamina and desires.
Pomegranate Juice Prevents Anaemia:
Anaemia is a condition caused by the deficiency of red blood cells
in the body. Since pomegranate juice contains ample amount of iron it helps in
surmounting the red blood cell deficiency in the body. Mixing some candied
sugar in pomegranate juice and introducing a couple of drops in the nostrils is
a quick fix to control nose bleeds. It is an excellent remedy for red
or sore eyes and
falling eye lashes.
