4 Reasons to Eat Pomegranates

Who knew the pomegranate has so many health benefits. Herbalist James Duke, a former ecologist with the USDA, published a  review of the scientific literature on the pomegranate. 

His conclusion: it is "one of the most promising of health foods" with "a dozen known anti-inflammatory phytochemicals and some 3 dozen antioxidants." Duke found studies that suggest pomegranate fruit and/or juice may help prevent or alleviate: 




1. Heart disease and atherosclerosis 

2. High cholesterol 

3. Prostate cancer

4. Alzheimer's disease 

Deep-colored fruits such as cherries, blueberries and raspberries, and deep-colored vegetables, all offer similar benefits. Enjoy!
