1. Heart Health: The buildup of cholesterol in arteries leads to a heart disease known as “Atherosclerosis”. Eating pomegranates reduce the level of low-density lipoproteins also known as “bad cholesterol” that are the cause of blockage in the arteries.
2. Antioxidant: Free radicals are reactive oxygen species that are always found in your body. But they become dangerous when their level rises above a certain limit and antioxidants are compounds that protect the body from the damage of these free radicals.
3. Anti-inflammatory: Acute inflammation is a normal reaction of the body in response to infection and injury but if left untreated chronic inflammation can lead to various diseases including cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and heart disease. Pomegranates may help protect the body from long-term inflammation and reduce the risk of other chronic diseases.
4. Urinary Health: Pomegranates support urinary health by reducing the formation of kidney stones. In one study carried out on humans, it was found that the experimental group which was given 1000mg of pomegranate extract for 90 days had reduced the formation of kidney stones.
