News India Live, Digital Desk: Nowadays, heart related diseases have become common due to busy life and bad eating habits. But do you know that there is a ‘superfood’ present in your kitchen and fruit basket, which can make your heart as strong as iron? A new medical research conducted recently has created a stir in the health world. According to this research, ‘Pomegranate’ is not only a blood enhancing fruit, but it is no less than a protective shield for the arteries of your heart.
Pomegranate has the power to melt the fat accumulated in the arteries. Research has revealed the shocking fact that the powerful antioxidants found in pomegranate seeds help in reducing the cholesterol and fat deposited inside the arteries. When the arteries remain clean, blood circulation occurs smoothly, which reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke to a great extent. Experts believe that pomegranate juice also shows magical effects in controlling high blood pressure.
A treasure trove of anti-inflammatory properties: Provides relief from swelling. One of the main causes of heart diseases is inflammation in the veins. Polyphenols and anthocyanins are found in abundance in pomegranate, which eliminate elements that cause inflammation in the body. Scientists say that if pomegranate is consumed in limited quantity regularly, it not only keeps the heart young but also increases the immunity of the body manifold. This fruit is also considered safer for diabetic patients than other sweet fruits.
How to consume it to get full benefits? To improve heart health, experts recommend eating pomegranate seeds or drinking its fresh juice in the morning. Keep in mind that canned juices available in the market may contain sugar and preservatives, which can cause harm instead of benefits. Therefore, always consume fresh juice extracted at home or directly from the fruit. If you are already taking medicine for any serious heart disease, then definitely consult a doctor before including it in your diet.
