Health benefits of pomegranates

July 3rd, 2008 by Pinaki Goswami

Red, juicy pomegranates are great to have as it is, just as they are popular as a chilled juice.

1) Pomegranate has been shown to reduce systolic blood pressure and is a good source of vitamin C and vitamin B5. More recent research has found that a glass of pomegranate juice daily for three months improved the amount of oxygen getting to the heart muscle.

2) Pomegranates also have significant anti-carcinogenic properties. Squeeze for ruby red juice or eat the seeds plain, with fruits, on salads, or atop low-fat yogurt and desserts. One half-cup fo the juice has 80 calories.
