Though most of the pomegranate’s mythological
roots (often seen as a symbol of fertility and prosperity) cannot
be proven, recent attention from scientific communities solidifies
the fruit’s health benefits are far from myth. Pomegranate contains
a broad spectrum of vitamins and minerals, with especially notable
amounts of vitamin C and potassium. It is also a powerful source of
antioxidant phytoestrogens, polyphenols, and anti-inflammatory
essential amino acids. Among the most important effects of this
beneficial nutrient collection is the ability to inhibit free
radicals (a biological component attributed to disease and aging).
Remarkably, polyphenols may inhibit estrogen synthesis, and the oil
from the pomegranate seed has been proven effective against the
proliferation of breast cancer cells in vitro.
But there’s more. Pomegranate’s contribution to cardiovascular
health has also been widely celebrated. In preliminary laboratory
research and human pilot studies, juice of the pomegranate was
shown effective in reducing heart disease risk factors: including
LDL oxidation, macrophage oxidative status, and foam cell formation
(important components of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular
disease). Pomegranate juice has also been shown to reduce systolic
blood pressure (inhibiting the serum angiotensin-converting
enzyme), may inhibit viral infections, and can also have
antibacterial effects against dental plaque.
With the high levels of ongoing research, exploration of the
pomegranate’s exciting health benefits have only just begun.
Needless to say, including pomegranate in the diet serves as a
powerful tool for disease prevention.
Though Navitas Naturals Pomegranate Powder is a superfood warrior
health-wise, its fruity flavor is much more mild -- making it easy
to incorporate into recipes. This pomegranate powder isn't just the
pulp - it contains the entire freeze-dried pomegranat, so you're
getting the best of the entire fruit in each serving. Just a
spoonful or two is a great dietary addition stirred into juice or
tea, or blended into a smoothie. Undiluted, Pomegranate Powder is
also excellent when mixed into desserts - like chocolate pudding or
truffles - and serves as a smart superfood addition to homemade
energy bars.
