A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that drinking a glass of pomegranate juice every day can reduce artery blockages by up to 30%.

Among the benefits of pomegranate are its ability to lower blood pressure and prevent the accumulation of fat in the abdomen, two conditions that can represent a cardiovascular risk factor.

Pomegranate is also a powerful antioxidant, helping to fight free radicals and prevent cellular aging.

It contains significant amounts of vitamin C: a single pomegranate provides nearly 20% of an adult's daily requirement.

Pomegranates also contain vitamin K, vitamin B, protein and carbohydrates, natural phenols, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin E and folic acid, all anti-cancer substances.

This fruit has a powerful antitumor effect by reducing free radicals.

Pomegranate seeds and juice can destroy cancer cells and also protect against damage from UV rays, a leading cause of skin cancer.

Pomegranate can be consumed raw, preferably on an empty stomach to absorb all the nutrients.

It is also important to remember that consuming this fruit – like other foods considered beneficial for health – must be part of a broader, balanced and complete diet to benefit the body.
