According to the website of the “Cleveland Clinic”, nutritionist Julia Zumpano says that pomegranate can be a qualitative addition to the diet.
She adds that having pomegranate seeds and its fresh juice is always better than bottled juice.
Zumbano reviewed the most prominent gains that the individual derives from eating pomegranate and its juice:
Rich in antioxidants: Antioxidants help protect cells from surrounding toxins such as pollution and cigarette smoke.
Antioxidants help prevent and repair DNA damage, which, if it occurs, can lead to cancer.
Pomegranate juice will not prevent cancer, but studies suggest that it may be an addition to a healthy plant-based diet, such as the Mediterranean diet.
Improve prostate health: Several studies have concluded that the components of pomegranate juice help stop the movement of cancer cells, by weakening their attractiveness to the chemical signal that promotes the spread of cancerous tumors.
Researchers at the University of California found that pomegranate juice reduces the growth of cancer cells and reduces the spread of deadly cancer cells in men who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer.
Zompano says there are many studies that suggest that pomegranate helps slow the growth of prostate cancer, but it should be noted that pomegranate and its juice should be part of a healthy plant-based regimen.
Promote heart health: Pomegranate has been used for thousands of years as a method in the traditional Ayurvedic treatment in India before it was transmitted thousands of years ago, due to its antioxidant content.
Oxidative stress is linked to many chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease, and due to its antioxidant properties, several studies have discovered that pomegranate can reduce oxidative stress.
In 2022, a broad review of the 10 most common fruits and their effect on heart health took place, and the researchers concluded in the review that pomegranate and its juice can have significant benefits in improving heart health.
