When I was a little girl, I used to look forward to the ripening fruit on our pomegranate tree. In Chinese tradition, the leaves of the Pomegranate is a symbol of cleansing and renewal. For that reason, it is common to keep a small Pomengranate plant in Chinese households.
All these years, I have never known the health benefits of this lovely fruit til the recent months when I read about it being a primary key ingredient in cosmetic products.
Pomegranate Juice is a sweet, tart red healthy fruit juice loaded with antioxidants (more than any other juice). Check out the list of benefits this fruit delivers:
1) Pomegranate Juice is rich in antioxidants called poly phenols, known to benefit health, especially heart health. Its antioxidants level is 3x more than green tea and red wine.
2) Pomegranate juice is a rich source of sodium and also contains a good amount of riboflavin, thiamine, niacin, vitamin C, calcium and phosphorous.
3) Pomegranate juice is a powerful anti-oxidant. Antioxidants are extremely important because they guard your body against molecules that can cause premature aging, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and even cancer.
4) Drinking pomegranate juice benefits are observed in treating heart disease, premature ageing and cancer.
5) Pomegranate juice also has antiseptic and disinfectant properties.
6) It has potential to help reduce arterial plaque formation in humans.
7) Pomegranate juice also benefits cancer suffering people as pomegranate seed oil can prevent the formation of skin cancers by significantly decreasing tumor incidence and the number of lesions.
Pomegranate juice had potent anti-heart-disease effects in both healthy humans and in disease-prone mice “that may be attributable to its antioxidative properties”.
9) It is known to help patients suffering from high blood pressure. One true fact about pomegranate juice is that – consumption of 50 milliliters per day of pomegranate juice for just two weeks could lower the systolic blood pressure of hypertensive patients by 5 percent.
10) Pomegranate juice consumption decreased “bad” LDL activity and increased markers for the “good” HDL by a significant 20 percent.

12) Pomegranate juice act as defending against symptoms associated with menopause.
