18. HEALTH BENEFITS OF
POMEGRANATE
11-08-2020 18

19.  Lowers risk of heart disease:-
Heart disease is one of the leading causes of
premature death. A four-week study examined 51
patients with high triglyceride levels. They received
800 mg of pomegranate seed oil (punicic acid) per
day for four weeks. When their triglyceride levels
were measured after these four weeks, they had
significantly reduced numbers.

20.  Anti-inflammatory effects:-
Many diseases such as Alzheimer’s, type 2
diabetes, obesity, and heart disease are driven
by chronic inflammation. Pomegranates have
powerful anti-inflammatory properties that are
mediated by plant compounds called punicalagin.
These antioxidants reduce inflammation in the
digestive tract.
A 12-weeks study examined people with type 2
diabetes and inflammation. When these patients
had 250ml of pomegranate juice every day, it
lowered several inflammatory markers such as
interleukin-6 and CRP by up to 32%.
11-08-2020 20

21.  Lowers blood pressure:-
High blood pressure is a key factor in
strokes and heart attacks. In one study,
patients received 150 ml of
pomegranate juice every day for 14
days. These patients had a significant
decrease in their systolic blood
pressure.

22.  Helps combat cancer:-
A review of Pomegranate in prostate cancer has
found pomegranate extract capable of slowing cancer
cell reproduction and even inducing death in
cancerous cells.
PSA or prostate-specific antigen is a blood marker
that is used to identify the presence of prostate
cancer. Men who have to develop twice the amount
PSA in a short duration are at high risk for death from
prostate cancer. However, a study found that by
drinking 237ml of pomegranate juice each day, it
doubled PSA time from 15 to 54 months.

23.  Combats bacterial and fungal infections:-
Punicic acid and punicalagin in
pomegranate help fight microorganisms. For
instance, these two compounds combat
fungal infections caused by Candida
albicans. Their antifungal and antibacterial
effects may act as barriers against dental
infections such as periodontitis, denture
stomatitis, tooth plaque, and gingivitis.

24.  Pomegranate keeps premature aging
at bay:-
Premature aging occurs when free
radicals begin to form in our body due to
exposure to the Sun and other harmful
environmental toxins. Pomegranates
are rich in antioxidants, which help
tackle free radicals and prevent their
formation. This helps your skin appear
younger and plumper by keeping fine
lines and wrinkles at bay.

26.  Helps fight arthritis and other joint
pains:-
Since pomegranates have anti-inflammatory
properties, they are strong contenders for fighting
arthritis and other joint pains. They help relieve the
discomfort and pain caused due to joint problems and
enable you to live more comfortably. Consumption of
pomegranate extract at least two times a day blocks
the enzymes that are responsible for causing
immense joint pains in people suffering from arthritis.
It is recommended that you consume pomegranate
extract for at least 12 weeks before this benefit starts
reflecting in your body.

Your muscles can feel incredibly sore after
a workout session. This makes you feel

be quite uncomfortable for many people.
Regular consumption of pomegranate
juice has shown to be highly effective in
delaying the onset of fatigue letting you
work out for longer and also reducing
muscle soreness post-workout.

28.  Pomegranate May Help Improve
Memory

pomegranate extract prevented deficits in memory after surgery
.
Another study in 28 older adults with memory complaints found
that 8 ounces (237 ml) of pomegranate juice per day
significantly improved markers of verbal and visual memory.
Studies in mice also suggest that pomegranate may help fight
Alzheimer's disease.
