Eat Your Heart Out!
Pomegranate's Are Fantastic Tasting, And Fantastic For You
Ever notice that the inside of a pomegranate looks like a heart? Well consider that to be a signature of good fats! Pomegranate, specifically, rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, ( free radical reducing agents) have been shown to be strong fighters against certain diseases and a great lipid per oxidation blocker.What this means, is that enzymes that come from the pomegranate, help to cleanse the arteries, inhibit inflammation and also help prevent insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes and obesity.
The enzymes that come from the pomegranate also activate androgenic activity in the cells, meaning hormonal changes. Pomegrante seems to mimic plant sterols which are estrogenic like compounds that work to balance the hormones rather than produce exscessive amounts of bad estrogen, which can lead to breast cancer and other health concerns. Pomegranate contains a high ORAC value.
The ORAC value or oxygen radical absorbance capacity, measures the antioxidant capabilities of a particular food. Because pomegranate's are so high in their ORAC value, they are wonderful for you. So if you wanna purify your blood and protect your heart, indulge in this hearty fruit.
