Pomegranate Juice - Juice For Healthy Hearts
If you are searching for a food full of antioxidants, then pomegranate could be your fruit. Most recently, the health benefits of pomegranate juice have been shown to be related to heart health as it can help to lower both blood pressure and cholesterol. So it would seem that the juice from these unusual fruits can aid in keeping your heart healthy.
My father ,who has had high cholesterol and high blood pressure for 20 years now had learned of these great benefits and decided to try some pomegranate juice. He started around 30 days before his next doctors appointment and had 8 oz of juice every morning. On his next doctor visit both his cholesterol and blood pressure were down! The nurses was amazed, and when he mentioned the pomegranate juice she said that other patients with improved results had mentioned that they had been drinking the juice as well!
The benefits of this juice should be no surprise as the fruit is high in vitamins C, An and E along with iron, tannins, polyphenolics and anthocyanins - which all give your health a benefit. But possibly the most significant health benefit of pomegranate juice is it?s impact on your arteries as well as heart health. Essentially, pomegranate juice is said to have 3 times the amount of antioxidants than red wine or green tea so, it makes for a super health juice.
Antioxidants are critical because they battle the free radicals that can cause oxidation - a process that changes the cholesterol in your blood. This is what contributes to hardening of the arteries. Pomegranate juice can reduce the amount of LDL in your blood and also cut the oxidation in half based on a recent study from the Rambam Medical Center. Additionally, pomegranate juice has been reported to reduce systolic blood pressure, reduce arterial plaque, improve blood flow and increase levels of nitric oxide. Further benefits might include preventing stroke, Alzheimer?s, arthritis, premature aging and possibly even cancer.
Just like any other product, you need to be careful about the juice you choose. Certainly, you could buy pomegranates and juice them or eat the seeds - this may be really time consuming as these fruits are hard to cut into. When you purchase juice, you should stick with 100% pomegranate juice and be certain that there is no added sugar or other harmful substances.
One thing though, if you do decide to enjoy the health benefits of pomegranate juice you should check with your doctor first, especially if you are taking any medications. It's been discovered that, in a few cases, the pomegranate juice could affect the way your body metabolizes prescription medicines and this can be very harmful to you so it's a good idea to be safe and ask your doctor first!
