Get Your Body Healthy

This darkish red fruit is “hot” today, particularly in the form of pomegranate juice.  A remarkable superfood, pomegranates are loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants; many research papers show that they offer almost 3 times the anti-oxidants of such well-known antioxidant super sources as green teas, red wine, blueberry fruit juice, cranberry juice, and orange juice. Furthermore, pomegranates consist of potassium, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and niacin, all of which can lead to elevated energy and great health. It additionally features  some more specific heart-hearthy benefits. A Study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2000, 71:1062) confirmed that pomegranate fruit juice lessened plaque growth in arteries by 44% when given to subjects. But the rave testimonials don’t end here.

In my 3-book healthy eating and staying set published by Hay House termed the Blissful Living set  (it includes these three books — The Healing Power of NatureFoods, Health Bliss, and Recipes for Health Bliss), I write in detail about the health benefits of pomegranates and pomegranate juice and offer you a wide variety of tested recipes utilizing both.

Ways to Use Pomegranate Juice

Pomegranate juice is one of my all-time preferred drinks. I used to juice this fruit until I found the ideal source at my local farmers’ market. So now, once each and every 7 days, I buy one to two gallons of the freshly squeezed, raw fruit juice. (It is possible to purchase pasteurized pomegranate juice at health-food stores, and in regular supermarkets, both bottled by itself, and as an ingredient in blended fresh fruit drinks.) In addition to drinking this  colorful elixir, I additionally make a lot of frozen cubes from the juice to put in my drinking water, in smoothies, and in soups as ingredient of the liquid base for chilled fruit soups. I also get pleasure from sucking on the frozen pomegranate cubes as a terrific snack or dessert treat. In addition to the normal-shapes ice cube trays, I also have some in the shapes of hearts, stars, fruit, flowers, half moons, teddy bears, and other animals. A heart of frozen pomegranate juice, or other fruit juice, is a pretty, exceptional touch in a glass of water, tea, or fruit juice.

Pomegranates: Nutritional Details

The pulp (seed) of the pomegranate fresh fruit is 82 % water and includes 63 calories per 100 grams of the edible portion. One pomegranate offers a lot of the body’s day-to-day potassium and vitamin C needs, a healthful dose of fiber, and no fat. Next to pure water, lemon water, and the water from a young coconut, fresh pomegranate fruit juice is one of my favorite, healthful drinks which I have several times every single week when it is available in season. I also purchase the seeds by themselves which are always available in my nearby health food store year-round. I sprinkle these seeds on my salads for a colorful, healthful impact.
