 Anti-inflammatory

Chronic inflammation ranks high on the list of all diseases of mankind. One of pomegranates’ distinctive properties is its strong anti-inflammatory effect, which is largely due to the antioxidants contained in the fruit. In particular, studies show that pomegranates can reduce inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract.

Pomegranate against fungi

It was also found that pomegranate juice can be helpful in the fight against harmful bacteria and fungi. More specifically, this fruit will bring relief to people with diseases caused by fungi of the Candida genus. Meanwhile, its antifungal and antibacterial effects will prevent oral infections and inflammations such as stomatitis, periodontitis, and gingivitis.

Heart benefits

High blood pressure can eventually lead to a heart attack or stroke, which can be avoided with the help of pomegranate juice. According to studies, drinking 150 ml of natural juice for two weeks is enough to normalize blood pressure. Among many other things, pomegranate acid can strengthen the heart and protect it from some diseases. Besides, the juice has been proven to effectively lower cholesterol and triglycerides, both of which are also important health indicators.

This is one of the most popular fruits used in the modern food industry.
