Kim, pomegranates aren't as well known as their fruity counterparts - but when it comes to healthy benefits they're in a league of their own!
Studies now confirm that the juice reduces LDL bad cholesterol - and that's just for starters! Just eight ounces of pomegranate juice per day reduced high blood pressure by five percent in some test subjects! In fact - the juice mimicked the effects of some hypertension drugs.
Like tea - pomegranate juice is packed with cancer fighting anti-oxidants called polyphenols (polly-feenols). It's also low in calories - about one hundred forty in an eight ounce glass! One of the most widely marketed pomegranate juice products is called Pom Wonderful. It has no added sugars - and comes in a variety of flavors. It's not cheap - but well worth the price.
Whole pomegranate fruit also a delicious addition to your healthy diet strategy!
