If you’ve been following the news recently then you’ll know that there’s been a lot of publicity about the humble pomegranate. Experts are now recommending a daily glass of this delcious fruit juice for many reasons. Recent research has shown that pomegranate juice contains powerful antioxidants and polyphenols (yes, they’re saying that it’s even better than red wine or tea!) and can therefore be useful in lowering cholesterol levels. The antioxidant chemicals in pomegranate juice may also have cancer-preventing benefits and these seem to be particularly interesting in relation to prostate cancer in men. It works against prostate cancer cells in lab dishes and researchers also reported that prostate tumors shrank in mice who drank pomegranate juice. Filed under: Nutritional tips Comments: None |
