Numerous studies have shown that the spherical fruit as well as its juice, is rich in antioxidant substances such as tannins, polyphenols and anthocyanins which have beneficial results in some chronic diseases. Pomegranate contains phenolic substances with strong antioxidant effect and in fact it contains some substances that are not met anywhere else in nature. The content of the juice of the pomegranate in antioxidants seems to be higher than the content of other fruit juices, of red wine or even of green tea.
Pomegranate seems to have cardio-protective effect as studies show that it improves blood circulation in patients with cardiovascular diseases, reduces blood pressure (specifically systolic) and prevents the oxidation of bad cholesterol (LDL).
In addition, pomegranate protects men’s prostate gland. Also, scientists from Queen Margaret University in Edinburgh discovered that it increases the testosterone levels in saliva both in men and women, while at the same time improves the mood, factors that boost the mood for sexual intercourse.
Finally, the ingredients that it contains offer antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and healing effect.
